2020 Aviation Week Photo Contest Editor's Picks: General Aviation

1974 Cessna 172 Skyhawk fixed-wing aircraft

General: Editor's Pick

Sandie Gibbs
/Virginia Beach, Virginia

A 1974 Cessna 172 plunges 100 ft., strikes a pile of dirt and flips over with a brutal, tail-snapping crunch. This aircraft served 25 years as a fish spotter over the Chesapeake Bay before donating its body to science. Engineers at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, conducted a series of controlled “severe but survivable” crash tests at the Landing and Impact Research Facility (LandIR) to study how emergency locator transmitter installations could be improved to enhance survivability and help save lives.
