Cessna Aircraft Company (http://www.cessnaskycatcher.com/) flys into the LSA market with the Cessna SkyCatcher.  The Cessna SkyCatcher boasts dual controlss and the all glass Garmin G300 cockpit making it one of the simpliest yet well outfitted aircraft available.

The SkyCatcher plans to be host to ergonomic carbon fiber seats and spacious baggage space and allow for comfortable cruising at up to 118 knots.  The SkyCatcher will draw those that have thought about owning their own aircraft or flying in general due to the fact that is supported by one of the most successful aircraft manufacturers in the world.  With an expected price tag of $100,000 the SkyCatcher may also draw on existing LSA owners looking for an upgrade.

Engine - Continental 0-200
Max Range - 470 nm
