The Cessna A150 Aerobat was a specialized aerobatic trainer variant of the popular Cessna 150, designed to democratize aerobatic instruction for civilian pilots. First flown in prototype form on September 12, 1957, it was a high-wing, single-engine monoplane that seated two occupants and featured structural reinforcements for +6/-3G aerobatic maneuvers. With a wingspan of 32 feet 9 inches and powered by a 100-horsepower Continental O-200 engine, the aircraft served flight schools worldwide from 1969 to 1977. The A150 Aerobat was manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company of Wichita, Kansas.
