Cessna Aircraft Company

USA Est. 1927

Cessna built more aircraft than anyone, full stop. The 172 Skyhawk is the most produced aircraft in history, and if you learned to fly, there's a good chance you did it in a Cessna.

Heritage

Clyde Cessna started building monoplanes when biplanes were still king. His company went on to dominate general aviation with a lineup that covered everything from two-seat trainers to business jets. Now part of Textron Aviation, but the Cessna name still means 'airplane' to most people on the planet.
