Cessna-Skyhawk-172R
Appropriately enough, the first aircraft in the new Cessna singe-engine line is also the No. 1 selling aircraft of all time. Not to mention, the safest
single-engine piston aircraft in general aviation, and the gold standard for training new pilots. Propelled by a fuel-injected 160-hp Lycoming
power plant, this rock-solid, super stable aircraft cruises along at 142 mph, lifts 815 pounds of useful load and covers nearly 700 miles of scenery on a single
tank of fuel. With 156 cubic feet of un-crowded four-passenger cabin, it won't just lift your spirits, it will
elevate your soul.
