About the F172N

The Textron Aviation F172N is an American type-certificated fixed-wing aircraft designed for general aviation. It is a single-engine, high-wing airplane featuring a tricycle landing gear layout and a four-seat cabin that suits flight training, personal transportation, and aerial patrol duties.

Developed from an earlier taildragger design, the aircraft introduced swept-back tailfins, stepped firewalls, and expanded rear visibility windows over the course of its production history. Manufactured in large quantities by Cessna and its international partners, it holds a record for high production volume and remains a widely utilized light airplane across the globe.

{# the label links to these aircraft for sale, built in that span. On the label and not the count: the bands count every aircraft on the market (on_market) while the grid shows only those with a photo (live), so the count is not a promise of how many cards appear. A band cached before year_min existed renders as plain text rather than a link to an unfiltered list. #}
