    The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is an American four-seat, single-engine, high wing, fixed-wing aircraft made by the Cessna Aircraft Company.

  3. V speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds

    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 ...

  4. Lift-to-drag ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift-to-drag_ratio

    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 ...

  5. Speed and rate of climb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_climb

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_envelope

    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 ...
