Reat Fri, 24 Dec 2010 21:51:01 +0000 http://blog.aopa.org/sweepstakes_logbook/?p=81#comment-116 The newest Cessna 182s (restarts after 2004 or -05) have a different, more bulbous design main and nosewheel fairing. It has a “pressure recovery” profile and does not have the separate brake fairing. I assume these are still more efficient yet since they were part of the aerodynamic cleanup Cessna did (different cowl and air intake, etc.).

Do any readers know whether these can be retrofitted to older Skylanes and whether they can be purchased from anyone besides Cessna ($$$!).
