Default Cessna 182 Skylane

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_182_Skylane

The Cessna 182 Skylane is an American four-seat, single-engined light airplane,
built by Cessna of Wichita, Kansas. It has the option of adding two child seats,
installed in the baggage area.

Introduced in 1956, the 182 has been produced in a number of variants, including
a version with retractable landing gear, and is the second most popular Cessna
model, after the 172.

The Cessna 182 was introduced in 1956 as a tricycle gear variant of the 180. In
1957, the 182A variant was introduced along with the name Skylane. As production
continued, later models were improved regularly with features such as a wider
fuselage, swept tailfin with rear "omni-vision" window, enlarged baggage
compartment, higher gross weights, landing gear changes, etc. The "restart"
aircraft built after 1996 were different in many other details including a
different engine, new seating design, etc.

By mid-2013 Cessna planned to introduce the next model of the 182T, the JT-A,
using the 227 hp (169 kW) SMA SR305-230 diesel engine running on Jet-A with a
burn rate of 11 U.S. gallons (42 L; 9.2 imp gal) per hour and cruise at 155 kn
(287 km/h). Cessna has no timeline for the JT-A and the diesel 172. The normally
aspirated, avgas fueled 182 went out of production in 2012, but came back in
2015.

The Cessna 182 is an all-metal (mostly aluminum alloy) aircraft, although some
parts – such as engine cowling nosebowl and wingtips – are made of fiberglass or
thermoplastic material. Its wing has the same platform 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.

The retractable gear R182 and TR182 were offered from 1978 to 1986, without and
with engine turbocharging respectively. The model designation nomenclature
differs from some other Cessna models with optional retractable gear. For
instance the retractable version of the Cessna 172 was designated as the 172RG,
whereas the retractable gear version of the Cessna 182 is the R182. Cessna gave
the R182 the marketing name of "Skylane RG".

The R182 and TR182 offer 10-15% improvement in climb and cruise speeds over
their fixed gear counterparts or, alternatively, 10-15% better fuel economy at
the same speeds at the expense of increased maintenance costs and decreased gear
robustness. The 1978 R182 has a sea level climb rate of 1140 fpm and cruising
speed (75% BHP) at 7,500 feet (2,300 m) of 156 KTAS at standard temperature.
