Description
The DEV055044-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation skin that forms the contoured metal covering over the airframe structure. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 1.66 pounds, and measures 60 (L) x 19.9 (W) x 5 (H) Inches.
Because the DEV055044-3 is an original-equipment (OEM) structural component from Textron Aviation, it is built to the airframe manufacturer's specification and matches the type design as documented. Fitting the genuine part preserves the wing or airframe's engineered strength and keeps installation and inspection records clean.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Structural parts like this carry and transfer loads through the airframe, so exact form and fit are essential to preserving the design's strength and fatigue life. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration.
Built by Textron Aviation, whose Cessna line was founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and joined Textron in 1992, this part carries one of general aviation's most storied names. The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most-produced aircraft in history, with more than 44,000 built since 1956, and remains in production under Textron Aviation.
