About the Cessna 172

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most successful aircraft ever built — more than 44,000 produced since 1956, more than any other aircraft in history. A four-seat, high-wing piston single, it is the world's default flight trainer and one of the most forgiving, well-supported aircraft in the air. Cruising around 122 knots on a Lycoming O-320 or O-360 engine, the 172 spans seven decades of variants — from 1950s straight-tail models through the long-running N/P models to the current fuel-injected Skyhawk SP with Garmin G1000. The 172RG Cutlass adds retractable gear for the complex endorsement.

Produced 1956. Total produced: 45,000.
