Cessnas

Small propeller planes

Cessnas is the plural of Cessna, a brand of light aircraft manufactured by the Cessna Aircraft Company.

The name has become somewhat generic for small private planes, particularly single-engine propeller aircraft: A couple of Cessnas were parked on the grass strip.

The company produces everything from two-seaters to business jets, but the name typically evokes modest recreational aircraft.
