Twin engine aircraft do not have counter-rotating engines. While this would make sense from an aerodynamic engineering point of view, it would greatly increase the complexity of the aircraft, having to design and produce two completely different engines for one aircraft.

The engines do not run in synch per se, but once at cruise speed and altitude, the pilot will make minor adjustments to reduce any excessive wave-harmonic vibrations.

Both the props in a Cessna 310 turn the same way--so the plane's got a critical engine.

Airplanes are not life limited, but i think a Cessna 172 need's an airframe overhaul every 100,000 flight hours.

This is rather confusing; every plane under goes stresses as part of it's take off and landing and it's flight.

Every plane has a flight envelope, which if you go beyond will likely overstress the airframe and possibly cause it to break apart.

The more a plane is used the more these stresses add up and the more likely bad things are to happen. For example: Forest fighters use planes that are no longer in the Air Force inventory because of their age. Some years ago one of those planes (a C-130) lost its entire port wing in level flight while dumping it's load over a fire.

Eventually the maintenance required for a plane to remain airborne will exceed the plane's worth to it's owner. Especially if you can't find the parts for it anymore.

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 P has a more reliable engine, the Lycoming O-320-D2J.

The maximum range for the flaps was reduced from 40 degrees to 30 degrees in order to reduce weight and allow a 100 lb increase in carrying capacity.

Single engine aircraft to Cessna's Citations range from $111,500 to $27 million new.

The C182 hardly has dihedral, if any. Dihedral is when the wing is kind of a "V" shape. This picture is self explanatory: http://www.littletoyairplanes.com/theoryofflight/images/whyplanesfly/fullsize/10dihedral.jpg

A new Citation X is just under 22 million.

The Cessna 205/206/207 differs from the 172/182 in several ways. It is bigger, heavier, and more powerful for a start.

Without going into all the specific details, you can put it this way. If the Cessna 172/182 is the sedan of the sky, then the Cessna 205/206/207 is the SUV of the sky.

The most important difference for a pilot is that the 300 hp powerplant and constant speed prop of the 205-series will require the pilot to hold the high-performance and complex aircraft endorsements. The 172 has a smaller engine and a fixed prop, so these endorsements are not required for it.

It is not practical to use "MPG" (miles per gallon) for an aircraft due to a lot of factors that make fuel use extremely variable, like how many times and how far a plane climbs or descends, gross weight of the aircraft, altitude it cruises at, weather conditions, etc - all these factors have more impact on an aircraft than on a car. A more practical value for flight planning is "GPH" (gallons per hour). A pilot's operating handbook (POH -- the plane's user manual) always includes performance tables showing expected fuel intake at specific altitudes and power settings for a desired speed, and this is used by the pilot to compute the required amount of fuel for a specific flight leg. Normally, the pilot must account for the expected wind, air pressure and temperature, altitude, and loading of the aircraft to make this computation. But as a crude estimate, a light, 4-seat single-engine aircraft equipped with a 150 HP engine, like a Cessna 172 or a Piper Cherokee, will use between 8 and 10 gallons of fuel per hour in cruise, for a true air speed of 100-110 knots. This gives us ~15 MPG. Some better-performing aircrafts, like the Mooney M20, are able to reach 20 MPG in cruise because of their higher speed for the same engine. Of course, as the plane gets more powerful, the fuel economy plummets. Each engine of an early Piper Apache (a small twin-engine aircraft, 4000 lbs gross takeoff weight) guzzle about 12 GPH, for a cruise speed of 150 knots; this comes to a dismal 7 MPG in cruise.

It's a twin turbine low wing executive aircraft. It carries 14 passengers at about 265 mph.

The empty weight of a Cessna 150 is 1,111 lb (504 kg) the maximum takeoff weight is 1,600 lb (730 kg).

the Cessna 406 can travel up to the speed of 455 km/h (283 mph)

There is no one answer. It depends on the year of manufacture and the equipment. The new equipment in a new 172 can cost more than a whole airplane built in 1956. A good '56 model 172 can sell for somewhere between $25,000 to $40,000. The newer ones aren't worth the money to buy. They still fly too slow to justify the costs. I believe that the latest 172 sell for about $200,000. Good grief! The old ones cruise just as fast and are just as much fun to fly (slow). Get a good used Mooney for about $45,000 to $65,000 and go 40 mph faster!

Cessna Aircraft is a subsidiary of Textron, Inc. The ticker symbol for Textron is TXT. It is traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

Short answer - about 500 lbs.

Longer answer - varies slightly from year to year and according to equipment installed. Oldest 150s (1959 vintage) had an MTOW (maximum takeoff weight) of 1500 lbs, empty weight was about 1000 to 1050 lbs. Later models went to 1600 lbs MTOW, empty weight climbed to about 1100 lbs, so payload was still 500 lbs. Cessna 152 had an MTOW of 1670 lbs, but empty weight climbed again to about 1150 or so, and we are again at 500 lbs payload.

Some 150s and 152s had 38 gallon long range tanks (about 10% of the fleet), but filling them up weighed 228 lbs, so the passengers had to have a combined weight of no more than 270 lbs, which isn't likely nowadays (people are bigger these days, in 1959 a "standard FAA person" weighed 170 lbs.)

The earlier models of the Cessna 150 had a straight up vertical stabilizer and no back window. Later models had a slanted vertical stabilizer and back windows. The Cessna 152 was introduced in 1977 with a slightly higher horsepower engine, slanted vertical stabilizer, and back windows. The 152's cabin is 3 inches wider, and Cessna upgraded from the 150's 100 horsepower Continental O-200 engine to the 108 horsepower Lycoming O-235-L2C engine. The cruise speed for the 152 is between 100-110 MPH. The 150 is about 97 MPH.

Cessna 150's make better stol aircraft as they have flaps that extend to 40 degrees while the 152 only goes to 30. Flap extension on the Cessna 152 was reportedly restricted to only 30 degrees as a safety precaution, in case the flaps could not be retracted during a go-around (aborted landing).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the 150, only the L in STOL applies! It should be SL...period. Also, the wider cabin appeared in 1967. I used to own a '67 Cessna 150, Good time builder, but don't plan on getting anywhere fast. Not too comfortable for pilots with long legs too. On long X-country, you could sit in the middle, left foot on the left side rudder pedal, and right foot on the right side right rudder pedal, just to be able to stretch your legs.

------------------------------

My C150L had a normal cruise speed of 115 mph at 75% power, 6 gph. If you really need the T in STOL, check into the Texas Taildragger version, with the larger O-320 engine.

Typically, car dealers (in their parts department) have access to diagrams for all sorts of systems (including fuel, wiring, ignition, brake, driveline, etc.). Usually it's as easy as pulling it up on the computer programs they have. They can even do this for older vehicles, though some dealers have limits for how far back they'll go. You should also be able to find one, with some extensive Googling.

$111,500 to $21,721,000

Cessna manufactures aircraft of different sizes.

747-400 fully painted-555lbs

747-400 polished with painted customer markings-55lbs

737-700 fully painted-179lbs

737-700 polished with painted customer markings 25lbs.

757-200-fully painted-239lbs

757-200-polished with customer markings-30lbs * 1 year ago http://www.boeing.com/commercial/aeromag... "Fully painted" does not mean that all of the aircraft is painted. Some paint schemes leave the belly unpainted. As I recall, the US Air Force E-4 Airborne Command post, a modified B747, required about 2,000 lbs of a special paint that reflected heat of an atomic blast. At the time it was painted in 1975/76, this aircraft had the largest US Flag displayed on any USAF aircraft---which was applied with peel & stick decals.

Clyde Vernon Cessna was born on December 5, 1879.
