  • 軽飛行機の定番ブランド。世界の民間軽飛行機の市場をビーチクラフト社と分け合う老舗です。パラソル式の主翼で下方視界が良く遊覧飛行や空中撮影、スカイダイビングにはうってつけのレイアウトです。私もアメリカのグランドキャニオンの見物の折に乗ったことがあります。ちょっと頼りないエンジン音を響かせ一生懸命飛んでいる、そんな感じの飛行機でした。日本の空でもまだ現役で飛んでいますのでどこかでお目にかかれるでしょう。
 
The Cessna 185 descends directly from the 180 model of 1952, having similar appearance, including the squared, vertical tailplane, but a more powerful engine.
The prototype 185 flew in July 1960, and with a stronger structure was intended to serve as a 'bush plane'. Among noticable external differences were the extra side windows (3 instead of 2, to cater for 6 seats); and the enlarged fin fillet to increase its stability when fitted with floats.
