Amazing. That's exactly the airplane I'd pictured when I first read
about Cessna's new plane. A composite Cardinal.



My guess is that it will still be aluminum, but with better aerodynamic
lines. I can't see Cessna going away from what it knows, and what it is set
up for.


Yes, there is hydro and stretch forming technology now readily available
that could make a very sleep aluminum airplane. Look at the Venture
homebuilt for example. The technology was just too espensive to support
a low volume homebuilt, but think what Cessna could do with it.
