Designed as a replacement for the Model 172,
the Model 177 featured cantilever wings and a roomy cabin. The Model
177A (206 built) was introduced in 1968 powered by a 180hp(134kW)
Lycoming to compensate for a perceived lack of power in the earlier
model. This model was upgraded in 1969 to the Model 177B (1381 built)
which had a redesigned aerofoil and cambered wingtips. Production ended
in 1978. Large numbers remain active.
