The Cessna R182 Skylane RG was a retractable-gear variant of the popular Skylane that holds the dubious distinction of being one of Cessna's shortest-lived production models. First flown in 1977, it was a high-wing single-engine monoplane that seated four occupants and featured electro-hydraulic retractable landing gear adapted from the Cardinal RG. Spanning just eight years of production from 1978 to 1986, at least 2,024 examples were built before Cessna ceased all piston aircraft manufacturing. The aircraft was manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company in Wichita, Kansas.
