Extremely stable tri-gear, side by side two-seater, used mainly as a flying school trainer. Cessna introduced the swept fin (with extension) to the small plane market. Speed 123 mph, 480 miles, 100-h.p. Continental engine.
When Cessna ended production of the Models 120 and 140, it concentrated upon the development of four-seat aircraft of similar configuration. It was not until the first flight of the Cessna Model 150, during September 1957, that the company re-entered the two-seat lightplane market. An all-metal braced high-wing monoplane, of similar configuration to the Model 140, this Model 150 differed primarily by the introduction of non-retractable tricycle landing gear, the installation of dual controls being optional, and by having a 100-hp Continental 0-200 engine.
Touted as the best aerobatic trainer around. Powered by a 180hp AEIO-360, this aircraft is stressed to 6 Gs positive and 5 Gs negative. It is capable of 4 minutes of sustained inverted flight. The symmetrical wing makes inverted maneuvers a dream.
