Cessna 188 AGTruck ↗Research-based aircraft background

Cessna 188 AGTruck

The 188 family is quite different from the high-wing touring singles usually associated with Cessna. A low wing and working-load hopper serve its agricultural purpose, while the pilot sits high behind the engine and load area. Production ran from the 1960s into the early 1980s.

Agwagon, Agtruck and related names identify developments within the family. The simulated Agtruck represents this agricultural branch and its mission equipment.

Cessna 195 Businessliner

The Cessna 190 and 195 were developed as enclosed-cabin general aviation aircraft after the Second World War. Their radial engines and rounded cowlings set them apart from the later flat-engine Cessna singles. The high wing and conventional landing gear complete a distinctly period outline.

The Businessliner name reflects the intended role as practical personal and company transport. Its combination of a substantial cabin and a single radial engine places it between the smaller club aeroplanes and the twin-engine executive transports of the same era.
