Clyde's Eagles - Cessna Aircraft since 1945
I'm creating this thread to act as a collection of my Cessna drawings and a location where I can share updates and progress on various projects, as well as updates to old projects, without clogging up general-purpose threads like FD Aircraft or being buried by AU drawings like a personal thread would.

Notes:
  • I'm not planning on doing every single aircraft Cessna ever conceptualized, just a bunch of the most common or interesting. That alone is a massive project that I can barely see being possible, so we'll see where things go from there.
  • WIPs and non-archived drawings will not be included on the master list included in this post.
  • Compilation images including Real-World Cessna aircraft of various types (e.g. aircraft operated by an institution or organization) will not be included in the master list, as they are not able to be archived.

Color Key:
Completed
In Progress/Unreleased
Released, but in need of Updates/Additional Variants/Corrections
Not Started
(Drawings that are marked as "Released, but in need of Updates/Additional Variants/Corrections" will include dates they were last revised and known flaws. Use these and Works in Progress (WIPs) at your own risk.)

The Tweet is not on my worklist at this time. If it is added, it will appear in the first post in this thread.

Also I want to clarify that this thread doesn't exist as a place for people to request things from me. If it's not on the list, I have no plans to draw it and, as I said before, I'm sticking to this list for the foreseeable future.

As you've got so much to concentrate on with Cessna's production models, here are a couple of the failed prototypes that are mostly unknown.

Cessna 182M cantilever wing prototype

With the 172 evolved into the 177, and the 210 modified to adopt an unstrutted cantilever wing, Cessna tried to do the same to the 182, and the first prototype of the 182M was fitted with a new 210-style wing. Initial testing showed there no significant performance increase to compensate for the additional expense of the new wing and airframe modifications to accept it, so the aircraft was retired after only 4 hours of flight time.

Cessna 187 prototype

With the familiar step up from the 172 to the 182, Cessna tried to mirror this with 187 as a big brother to the 177. The primary upgrade to the fixed gear 177 was the addition of the higher powered engine of the 182. Tailplane issues had always been the Achilles' Heel of the 177, and the new engine only increased those problems. The prototype was modified to have a widened T-tail in an effort to correct the difficulties. But, like the earlier 182M prototype, the added complexity and cost of the wing structure meant the aircraft could not compete financially with the stock 182, and the prototype was scrapped in 1968.
