Cessna 150 Wallpapers

Cessna 150 - Aircraft; photo wallpapers: The Cessna 150 is a two-seat tricycle gear general aviation airplane, originally designed for flight training, touring and personal use. The Cessna 150 was offered for sale in the 150 basic model, Commuter, Commuter II, Patroller and the aerobatic Aerobat model. Development of the original 150 began in the mid 1950s with the decision by Cessna Aircraft to produce a successor to the popular Cessna 140 which had completed production in 1951. The Cessna 150 prototype first flew in September 1957, with production commencing in September 1958 at Cessna's Wichita, Kansas plant.[br]American made 150s were produced with the Continental O-200-A 100 hp (75 kW) engine, but the 216 aircraft produced by Reims Aviation under license in France are powered by a Rolls Royce O-240-A piston engine of 130 hp (97 kW). These French manufactured 150s were designated Reims F-150, the "F" indicating "France". The Cessna 150 is one of the most widely used flight training aircraft in the world. Many flying schools have at least one available for instruction or private hire. Used Cessna 150s are an affordable private aircraft. The Cessna 150 is widely considered to be relatively easy to fly with no particular handling challenges. All Cessna 150s have very effective flaps that extend 40 degrees and landing the aircraft with full flaps gracefully can be a challenge for students to master. The 150 was succeeded in production in the summer of 1977 with the introduction of the 1978 model Cessna 152. The 152 is more economical to operate due to the increased TBO (time between overhaul) of the Lycoming O-235 engine.[br]Aside from the powerplant change the 152 had its flap travel limited to 30 degrees from the 150's 40 degree deflection and maximum gross weight was increased from 1,600 lbs (726 kg) to 1670 lbs (757 kg). The best-performing airplanes in the 150 and 152 fleet are the 1962 150B and the 1963 150C. They climb the fastest, have the highest ceilings, and require the shortest runways, thanks to their light 1,500-pound gross weight. They also claim 109 knots for cruise, a faster speed than for any other model year of either the 150 or 152. In terms of creature comforts, all models from 1966 on have the largest doors and baggage compartments. In 1967 the doors were bowed outward 1.5 inches on each side to provide more cabin room.[br]Country of origin: USA [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Engines: one 100hp Continental O-200A 4-cylinder air-cooled [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Wingspan: 9.97 m (32ft 8in) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Lenght: 7.01 m (23ft) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Height: 2.77 m (9ft 1in) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Weight loaded: 736 kg (1600lb) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Cruising speed: 188 km/h (102kt) at 2133 m (7000ft) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Service celling: 3850 m (12,630ft) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Range: 767 km (475 miles) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Passengers + crew: 1 + 1 [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________
