Cessna

The original Cessna 172 was first flown in 1955. Since the first production models, there have been several upgrades and variations of the original design, indicated by letters following the model number. Various changes in design, like the swept back tail fin introduced in the 1960 model 172 A, or the change from Continental engines to Lycoming in 1968 (the 172 I) are indicated by the letter after the numbers. Current production models introduced in 1998 are 172 S.

No, but you have to have a pilot's license.

Most piston driven planes are a direct drive, some have a gear reduction between the engine and propeller. But no transmissions that I know of.

100 LL Avgas.

The Cessna 406 can hold a total fuel capacity of approximately 120 gallons (about 454 liters). It typically has two fuel tanks, each with a capacity of 60 gallons. This allows for extended range and endurance for various flight operations.

Clyde V. Cessna and Victor H. Roos, together, built the first Cessna in 1927

Cessna C-150 can hold 1 passenger.

Cessna C-172 can hold 3 passengers

Yes, provided neither of them brings any luggage and you dont bring a full load of fuel.

...and the weathers not too hot.

yes, if you have enough runway

about 15 gallons per hour

Prices may vary wildly depending on the amount of hours on the aircraft and the aircraft condition.

I have seen a 1978 Cessna 172 sell for $22,000 completely refurbished

You should expect somewhere between $20,000 and $30,000

There is NO SUCH aircraft. The writer of "Hatchet" didn't do proper research and got the numbers WRONG. - The 406 is a 14 seat, twin turboprop executive aircraft, as shown in picture above. It has no resemblance to any 'bushplane'

The Cessna 406 ( as in pic above ) first flew in 1983. -It is a 14 seat, twin turboprop executive aircraft

The torque links on a Cessna 182 aircraft should be greased every fifty hours of flight as per the Airframe Maintenance Manual.

Cessna Aircraft produces different types of airplanes- from medium sized company jets to singe engine airplanes. Cessna began in 1927 and is still a strong leader in aircraft production today.

Their company is a subsidiary of U.S. conglomerate Textron, which owns many other big companies as well. It's doing great as a company and well respected in the industry.

the 182 is a tricycle landing gear and the 180 is a tail dragger. The 180 is also a much more adaptable and rugged craft, due to the nose high stance (larger prop clearance) and a more utilitarian build and mission role.

Over all the 180 is in it's class a paradymn, while the 182 is still an excellent performer...the tricycle landing gear and passenger plane role has created trade offs

The advantages of having a cessna caravan would be that if you had a pilot license or a pilot you could get to places very quickly. It's also cheaper in gas.

They use about 8 gallons per hour in cruise flight.

The later models of Skhawk carry 56 US gallons of fuel ( about 336 pounds)

12000 pounds

Yes, 100 LL Avgas.

CESSNA is a brand name, from the original designer and builder of the machines, a man named Clyde Cessna. There are no synonyms or antonyms for a person's name.

Yes. They are both the same 2-seater airplane, but the 152 has a different, and slightly more powerful engine.
