Design and development

The V1.0 features a strut-braced rectangular planform high-wing, a four-seat enclosed cabin accessed by two front doors and one rear seat door on the right side, fixed tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration. [1]

The aircraft forward fuselage is made from welded steel tubing, with the balance of the airframe of sheet aluminum construction. Its 10.0 m (32.8 ft) span wing employs flaps. The standard engine used is the 180 hp (134 kW) Lycoming IO-360-M1A four-stroke fuel-injected powerplant. [1]

The design greatly resembles the Cessna 172 and is intended to compete with that aircraft in performance and price. [1] In July 2017, the company announced an equipped price with a Garmin G500 avionics suite of US$259,000, to undercut the price of a new Cessna 172. [4]

European Aviation Safety Agency certification was completed in November 2013 and the US Federal Aviation Administration certification in December 2017. [3]

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is an American four-seat, single-engine, high wing, fixed-wing aircraft made by the Cessna Aircraft Company. First flown in 1955, more 172s have been built than any other aircraft. It was developed from the 1948 Cessna 170 but with tricycle landing gear rather than conventional landing gear. The Skyhawk name was originally used for a trim package, but was later applied to all standard-production 172 aircraft, while some upgraded versions were marketed as the Cutlass.
