With cutting edge technology and time-tested performance, the Cessna 172 Skyhawk doesn't just sit atop the aviation record books – it soars. Outfitted with Garmin's G1000 NXi avionics suite, this Skyhawk offers enhanced graphics displays and faster processing, as well as advanced weather, traffic and terrain awareness systems for a sophisticated glass cockpit experience. While the modern 172 Skyhawk introduces a steadfast 180-hp Lycoming engine, plus LED day/night lighting, the model keeps the line's tradition of rugged construction, intuitive controls, slow landing speed and great visibility – qualities that make the 172 one of the most forgiving planes in the world, and a wildly popular trainer. First flown in 1955, the Cessna 172 began as a tricycle landing gear variant of the taildragger Cessna 170, and has since become the single most produced airplane in history, tallying over 44,000 assembled to date.Īside from a hiatus in the 1980s-'90s, the 172 has been in production since 1956, with its four-seat, single-engine, fixed-wing design evolving into over 20 variants throughout the years – including the deluxe 'Skyhawk' model, debuted in 1960.
