The
Cessna 182 Skylane
is an American four-seat, single-engine, light airplane,
built by Cessna of Wichita, Kansas. It has the option of
adding two child seats, installed in the baggage area.
Introduced in 1956, the 182 has
been produced in a number of variants, including a
version with retractable landing gear, and is the second
most popular Cessna model, after the 172.
The Cessna 182 was
introduced in 1956 as a tricycle gear variant of the
180. In 1957, the 182A variant was introduced along with
the name Skylane.
As production continued, later models were improved
regularly with features such as a wider fuselage, swept
vertical fin with rear "omni-vision" window, enlarged
baggage compartment, higher gross weights, landing gear
changes, etc. The "restart" aircraft built after 1996
were different in many other details including a
different engine, new seating design, etc.
