Old dogs, old tricks

IL CESSNA 172 è un aereo unico: in produzione da 60 anni circa, è uno dei più diffusi al mondo se non il più diffuso. Un vero miracolo di resilienza. Ma quali sono le origini della sua incredibile storia?

Moneny quote: “Light aircraft might not be updated as often as cars, but 60 years is still a very long time to produce a vehicle that has essentially been unchanged. The only time its production ceased for an extended time was in the late 1980s, when stricter US laws restricted the manufacture of all light aircraft. What is it about the 172 that has made it such a favourite for so long?”
