Cessna 177



__NOTOC__ The Cessna 177 Cardinal is a light high-wing general aviation aircraft that was intended to complement and later replace the Cessna 172, first announced in 1967 in aviation. It was produced from 1968 to 1978. ==Background== Featuring newer technology and a cantilevered wing, it was initially underpowered with only 150 hp. It had other problems such as a tendency to experience tail stalls. Compared to the 172, it sold relatively poorly. The 177A was a 1968 in aviation revision with 180 hp that moved the design's price and role somewhere between that of the 172 and Cessna 182. 1970 in aviation saw the introduction of the 177B, which had a new wing airfoil, a constant-speed propeller, and other minor improvements. The final revision to the 177 line was the undercarriage 177RG, which Cessna began producing in 1971. The RG also had a 200 hp engine to offset the hydraulic gear's extra weight. The models built after 1971 were far better than the earlier models, but by then the Cardinal had a poor reputation and did not sell well. While not a failure, the 177 was not a success by Cessna's standards, and both the 177B and 177RG ceased production in 1978 in aviation. The model's higher price and minor quirks — like larger cabin doors which gusts of wind could rip off — allowed the 172 to retain its popularity in the general aviation market. ==Specifications (Cessna 177A)== ==Related content== ===Related development=== *Cessna 177RG ===Comparable aircraft=== *Piper PA-28RT Arrow ===Designation sequence=== Cessna 170 - Cessna 172 - Cessna 175 - Cessna 177 - Cessna 180 - Cessna 182 - Cessna 185 ===Sources=== *[http://www.airliners.net/info/stats.main?id=143 Airliners.net: Cessna 177 Cardinal] *[http://www.cardinalflyers.com Cardinal Flyers Online] U.S. civil utility aircraft 1960-1969
