Cessna is an aircraft manufacturer based in Kansas. They make business jets, single-engine turboprops and high-wing piston single-engine airplanes, and they used to make twin-engine piston aircraft. Clyde Cessna preferred to design his aircraft with a high wing above the cockpit. Cessna aircraft usually have this feature.
The "172" normally refers to the Cessna 172 plane. This is a four seat, single engine aircraft. It is typically described as a high-wing fixed-wing aircraft.
A fixed-wing aircraft is an aircraft which has wings that are attached to the aircraft and do not move. The term is used to differentiate airplanes from other types of flying vehicles such as lifting-body aircraft (balloons and blimps) or rotary aircraft such as helicopters and auto gyros. All airplanes are considered fixed-wing aircraft and even swing-wing or otherwise moving-wing airplanes are usually referred to as being in the fixed-wing category of aircraft.
The very first powered flight by the Wright brothers in 1903 was in a single wing aircraft.
AUTOROTATION is only for Rotary Wing aircraft...not fixed wing
Approximately 37 US fixed-wing aircraft and 23 rotor-wing aircraft were lost during DS. Approximately 15 of those fixed-wing aircraft & 18 of the rotor-wing aircraft were lost to operational causes (accidents).
Most of the single engine 2-4 seat Cessna's are around 32-36 foot wingspan.
