The Cessna 150 is a two-seat tricycle gear general aviation airplane that was designed for flight training, touring and personal use. [2] In 1977, it was succeeded in production by the Cessna 152, a minor modification to the original design. The Cessna 150 is the fifth most produced aircraft ever, with 23,839 produced. [3]
Aerol Oleo-Pneumatic strut. During 1926, the Cleveland Pneumatic Tool Company designed and introduced an oleo strut, one of the first to be purpose-designed for use on airplanes. The company subsequently marketed the product as an Aerol strut, which had entered widespread use within the United States within the space of a decade.
Waldo Waterman's 1929 tailless Whatsit was one of the first to have a steerable nose wheel. [3] In 1956, Cessna introduced sprung-steel tricycle landing gear on the Cessna 172. Their marketing department described this as "Land-O-Matic" to imply that these aircraft were much easier to land than tailwheel aircraft. [4]

In aeronautics, bracing comprises additional structural members which stiffen the functional airframe to give it rigidity and strength under load. Bracing may be applied both internally and externally, and may take the form of struts, which act in compression or tension as the need arises, and/or wires, which act only in tension.
A typical nominal regulated gauge pressure from a medical oxygen regulator is 3.4 bars (50 psi), for an absolute pressure of approximately 4.4 bar and a pressure ratio of about 4.4 without back pressure, so they will have choked flow in the metering orifices for a downstream (outlet) pressure of up to about 2.3 bar absolute.
Landing gear extenders installed on a Cessna 140. Landing gear extenders are devices used on conventional or tailwheel-equipped aircraft.They move the wheels forward of the landing gear leg by 2-3 inches (5–8 cm).
