The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is an American four-seat, single-engine, high wing, fixed-wing aircraft made by the Cessna Aircraft Company. [2] First flown in 1955, [2] more 172s have been built than any other aircraft. [3] It was developed from the 1948 Cessna 170 but with tricycle landing gear rather than conventional landing gear.
Best power-off glide speed – the speed that provides maximum lift-to-drag ratio and thus the greatest gliding distance available. V BR: Best range speed – the speed that gives the greatest range for fuel consumed – often identical to V md. [35] V FS: Final segment of a departure with one powerplant failed. [36] V imd: Minimum drag [37] V ...
For any given value of lift, the AoA varies with speed. Graphs of C L and C D vs. speed are referred to as drag curves. Speed is shown increasing from left to right. The lift/drag ratio is given by the slope from the origin to some point on the curve and so the maximum L/D ratio does not occur at the point of least drag coefficient, the ...
The Cessna 172 is a four-seat aircraft. At maximum weight it has a V Y of 75 kn (139 km/h) indicated airspeed [ 4 ] providing a rate of climb of 721 ft/min (3.66 m/s). Rate of climb at maximum power for a small aircraft is typically specified in its normal operating procedures but for large jet airliners it is usually mentioned in emergency ...
Choosing any particular set of parameters will generate the needed power for a particular aircraft for those conditions. For instance a Cessna 150 at 2,500-foot (760 m) altitude and 90-mile-per-hour (140 km/h) speed needs about 60 horsepower (45 kW) to fly straight and level. The C150 is normally equipped with a 100-horsepower (75 kW) engine ...

The festive first look begins with a glimpse of Bailey channeling Diana Ross as she sings “Stop! In the Name of Love” by The Supremes before she and Robinson explain why music fans should tune in.
Used in the Cessna 172 I to M models. O-320-E2F 150 hp (112 kW) at 2700 rpm, Minimum fuel grade 80/87 avgas, compression ratio 7.00:1. Same as E1F but with fixed pitch prop provisions.
