Interesting facts about the Reims F177
✈ The Reims F177 is the French built version of the Cessna 177 Cardinal, produced by Reims Aviation under licence in Reims, France.
✈ It is a four seat light single engine piston aircraft designed primarily for personal transport and touring rather than ab initio training.
✈ The F177 features a high cantilever wing with no wing struts, which improves visibility and gives the aircraft a cleaner aerodynamic profile.
✈ Early F177 variants retained the fixed pitch propeller configuration, while later versions adopted constant speed propellers for improved cruise efficiency.
✈ The wide doors and lower wing position compared to earlier Cessna high wing models provide easier cabin access for private owners and families.
✈ The stabilator tail design replaces the traditional horizontal stabiliser and elevator arrangement, offering lighter pitch control forces.
✈ Reims Aviation built the F177 to European certification standards, making many examples particularly attractive within EASA jurisdictions.
✈ Many Reims F177 aircraft operate as private touring platforms across Europe, valued for cabin space and cross country capability.
Model Variants for buyers to consider when purchasing a Reims F177
The Reims F177 line broadly mirrors the Cessna 177 Cardinal family produced in the United States. Recognised variants include the F177, F177A and F177RG. The F177RG retractable gear version offers improved cruise speed through its retractable undercarriage and typically features a constant speed propeller and higher power engine compared to fixed gear models.
