Abby Aerial Imaging uses the Cessna 182. This model was introduced in 1956 as a tricycle gear variant of the 180. In 1957, the 182A variant was introduced along with the name Skylane. Later models have added more powerful engines and bigger windows.
The Cessna 182 is an all-metal (mostly aluminum alloy) aircraft, although some parts such as engine cowling nosepiece and wingtips, are made of fiberglass or thermoplastic material. Its wing has the same planform as the smaller Cessna 172 and the larger 205/206 series; however, some wing details such as flap and aileron design are the same as the 172 and are not like the 205/206 components.  |
