Cessna
Wichita aircraft company
Cessna is an American aircraft manufacturer known for small, single-engine propeller planes widely used for private aviation and flight training.
The name has become nearly generic for light aircraft: We flew in on a little Cessna.
Cessna also produces business jets and military trainers, but the classic high-wing trainer remains the iconic image.
