The Cessna 140, a foundational aircraft that established Cessna's dominance in postwar general aviation, first flew on June 28, 1945. This high-wing, two-seat tailwheel monoplane powered by an 85-horsepower Continental C85-12 engine became the template for Cessna's single-engine designs for the next two decades. At peak production in 1946, the Wichita factory delivered 30 aircraft daily, ultimately producing 5,432 Model 140 and 140A variants through 1951. Built by Cessna Aircraft Company using wartime mass-production techniques, the 140 transformed affordable light aviation for civilian pilots. AviatorDB tracks 80,538 Cessna aircraft currently registered in the FAA database. The ICAO type designator for this aircraft model is C140.
