I need a definition for cessna?

Question

I think it's a type of small plane...

Answer 1

ya a small plane. it has jets too. alot of them like the 152,172,180,182, etc.. are a high monowing and have struts coming down to the fuselage.They usually are 2-4 seater plane.now they usually have tricyclegear meaning its not a taildragger which has a tail down at the empanage which drags. they usually have a horizantally opposed engine meaning arrangements pack a lot of engine into a little amount of space, that means less drag. and if you get a cessna then get flushed ribbits that means less drag and more thrust meaning you go faster!!!

Answer 3

Cessna is an aircraft manufacturer started in Kansas by Clyde Vernon Cessna. Cessnas flying today include the Cessna 152, which is a high-wing 2-seat aircraft powered by a single piston engine. The Cessna 172 and 182 are very popular four-seat high-wing versions with more horsepower. Cessna makes twin-engine piston low-wing aircraft in the 300 and 400 series and turbo-prop variants in the 400 series, such as the Conquest. There is also the Caravan, a single-engine turbo-prop. Cessna also makes the Citation business jets. At this time, the Citation X is the world's fastest business jet. It's maximum speed is mach .92, or a little over 527 knots/607 mph.

Answer 4

A Cessna is actually a aircraft manufacturer and not a "type" or model of plane that many people think it is. Cessna is considered to be the best manufacturer for private and training aircraft. They manufacture propeller driven,"Turbo-prop" and Turbine Jet aircraft. Some examples are the Cessna 172 Skyhawk(Prop), Cessna 337 Skymaster (Turboprop) and the Cessna Citation 10 (Turbojet). I myself fly a Cessna 172 and love it!

Answer 5

Cessna Aircraft Company, located in Wichita, Kansas, is a manufacturer of general aviation aircraft, from small two-seat, single-engine aircraft to business jets.

The company traces its history to June 1911, when Clyde Cessna, a farmer in Rago, Kansas, built a wood-and-fabric plane and became the first person to build and fly an aircraft between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains. Yet it was Clyde's nephew, Dwane Wallace, who was the person most responsible for the company's success.

In 1924, Cessna partnered with Lloyd C. Stearman and Walter H. Beech to form the Travel Air Manufacturing Co., Inc., a biplane manufacturing firm, in Wichita. In 1927 he left Travel Air to form his own company, the Cessna Aircraft Company, to build monoplanes.

Cessna Aircraft Company closed its doors from 1932–1934 due to the state of the economy. In 1934, Dwane Wallace, with the help of his brother Dwight, took control of the company and began the process of building it into a global success.

After World War II, Cessna created the 170, which, along with later models (notably the 172), became the most widely produced light aircraft in history. Cessna's advertising boasts that its aircraft have trained more pilots than those of any other company.

Cessna was bought by General Dynamics Corporation in 1985, and it stopped producing piston-engine aircraft the next year due to concerns over product liability. In 1992, Textron Inc. bought Cessna and soon resumed producing light aircraft.
