Business Summary
More than eight decades ago, a small aircraft company started in Wichita, Kan., to do hat others said could not be done - to build a monoplane that used a wing without supporting truts or braces. When the Cessna All Purpose took off August 13, 1927, the aviation world was forever changed. In fact, Clyde Cessna's cantilever design has been the standard ever since. Truth be told, the history of Cessna is a long line of firsts . With such a heritage, it's no wonder Cessna Aircraft Company is the leading designer and manufacturer of light and midsize business jets, utility turboprops and single engine aircraft, having sold and delivered more aircraft than anyone else in history - 190,000 and counting.
