mmhhhh, the Cessna 172..... I hadn't thought about that. The anwser I was looking for was the Po-2 but that seemed to be based on old information. I found that out when I checked your anwser, mine was wrong. (does this stil make any sense?) Anyhoo, the Cessna 172 is the right anwser, so it is your turn F-8fanatic.

Alright, lets keep with the same theme for now... Name the most-produced commercial aircraft--but keep in mind that some versions were used for military service as well.

Nope, not the DC-3. This one came along some time after the DC-3 was first produced.

Another good guess, but not the right answer. Here's another clue--this plane is a single-engine aircraft.

Nope, not the Cub. If memory serves, the Cub was not designed as a commercial aircraft.

No, not the 172 either. This is not a general aviation aircraft, it was designed from the outset as a commercial plane--a passenger and/or cargo carrier.

how about the Boeing 737?
*edit, that's not a single engine aircraft* Second guess: the Cessna Caravan.

Not the PC-12 or the Caravan. The PC-12 production has reached around 750 and the Caravan is around 1500. Here's another hint--this plane has only one engine, but two of something else.....

I was thinking Cessna 182, but now I'm stumped...

Hmmm... based on the last clue (and depending on your definition of commercial aircraft), Antonov An-2?

We have a winner!! The An-2 was produced from the late 40's up until 1992 in Russia, and license-built in other places. In fact, if I remember right, China still builds them as the Y-5. Over 18,000 have been built. it was originally designed to carry 12 passengers or cargo, and has been since used for agricultural work, paratroop dropping, airliners, and plenty more. On to you!

Alright, the aicraft I'm thinking of was a one-off prototype during the post-WW2 years. Special noise precautions were needed - to the point that some people developed nausea from just being on the flight line when it was in operation.
