The '''
Cessna 152''' is a two-seat, fixed
tricycle gear general aviation airplane, primarily used for
flight training.
152 history
The 152, first delivered in
1977 as the
1978 model year, was the upgrade and modernization of the
Cessna 150. 152s use only
Lycoming Lycoming O-235 O-235 engines, whereas the 150s use both
Continental Motors Continental (O-200) and
Rolls Royce engines.
The 152 was an enormously popular plane, with several revisions and models including the "Aerobat" aerobatic model.
The 152 not only featured a long-overdue increase in engine power, but also was compatible with the newer
100LL Low Lead fuel. The 152 also featured cabin size upgrades to accommodate larger pilots, though the 152 cabin is still fairly small and many large pilots are uncomfortable, preferring instead the more spacious
Cessna 172 172.
Unlike many of Cessna's earlier aircraft, the 152 model stayed fairly consistent from year to year.
Cessna ceased production of the 152 along with all of their light aircraft in
1985, like many
aircraft manufacturers. Total production of 152s from
1978-
1985 was 7,584 worldwide.
