Cessna 172 vs Cessna 182 | Top Piston Cessna

hey what's going on guys welcome back to the channel in today's video we will be comparing the Cessna 172 Skyhawk and Cessna 182 Skylane these two aircrafts are some obsesses most popular airplanes worldwide so I will lay out some facts on each aircraft which can help visualize some similarities and differences between these two aircrafts this can help any one of you watching this video possibly draw a conclusion as to which aircraft seems most favorable or suitable and attractive to you [Music] to the untrained eye many non-pilots wouldn't know the difference between a Cessna 172 Skyhawk and a Cessna 182 Skylane I will start with the production of these aircrafts the Cessna 172 Skyhawk has been produced more than 44,000 times the most produced plane in the world the Cessna 182 Skylane has been produced more than 23,000 230 times the six most produced plane in the world this alone could give the idea of which of these two planes is most popular but that should not be the determining factor for which airplane you personally prefer next up we have wing design both the Cessna 172 Skyhawk and Cessna 182 Skylane have high wing configurations this increases local angle of attack which is the angle difference between the cord of the wing and the relative wind on the wing towards the wind which increases the lift it produces the result is the aircraft returning to level flight with very little input from the pilot high wing aircraft are inherently stable as the center of mass is located beneath the center of lift compared hanging from a rope as compared to sitting on one short field landings can be shorter because they're dragging ground the fact is a lesson by the greater distance between the wing and the ground the high wing airplanes advantage include gravity-fed fuel flow so there's no requirement for a backup electric fuel pump other than for starting big flops can be fitted without concern about ground clearance for ground operations in the bush the high wing easily Claire's post snow piles brush and boulders that might be a hazard to low wing aircraft having the main gear attached to the fuselage means the wing structures spared the stress of takeoff and landings in most cases amenities like large doors and windows that are open are easy to engineer with high wing up Nexis visibility high wing aircraft offer better visibility below around the aircraft especially for passengers in four-seat aircraft as the wing doesn't block it they are ideal for introduction flight cruising around for fun or flying on missions that require a clear view of the ground in terms of safety account for both of these aircraft are that that they are arguably less safe than low wing aircrafts simply because low wing aircrafts have an advantage over high wing aircraft because the wings of a low wing aircraft will absorb much of the impact of an emergency landing whereas in a high wing aircraft the fuselage would be the first part of the plane to make contact with the ground up next is range the range of the Cessna 172 our model variant has a range of 696 nautical miles or 801 miles also 1289 kilometers with 45 minute reserves 55 percent power at 12,000 feet the range of the cessna 182 t variant has a range of 930 nautical miles which is 1070 miles or 1720 kilometers in terms of performance the Cessna 172 R has a horsepower rating of 160 the Cessna 182 has 230 horsepower gross weight of the 172 is 2400 50 pounds whereas on the ones 82 it's 3,100 pounds the top speed of the 172 is 163 knots also known as to never exceed speed the 182 has a never exceed speed of 175 knots mt weight on the 172 1691 pounds m to 8 1970 pounds on the 182 the Cessna 172 R has a cruise speed of 112 two knots whereas a Cessna 182 T has a cruise speed of 145 knots the stall speed of the Cessna 172 47 knots 182 49 knots the Cessna 172 has a rate of climb of 721 feet per minute and a ceiling of 13,500 the Cessna 182 has a rate of climb of 924 feet per minute at a ceiling of 18,000 100 I think both of these aircrafts are great and honestly I think they're nearly twins one is just newer and faster now that I have given you these facts about the planes how do you think they compare let me know in the comments which plane you would love to fly in and why thanks for watching the video spent modeling the aviator and I'm [Music]
