Description
The DEV055044-2 is a genuine Textron Aviation skin that forms the contoured metal covering over the airframe structure. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 1.31 pounds, and measures 61.6 (L) x 19.9 (W) x 0.18 (H) Inches.
Because the DEV055044-2 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.
Across the Cessna Skyhawk fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
As a load-bearing element, a part in this role must match the original material and dimensions precisely to keep the airframe's engineered strength intact. The value of an OEM part is as much in its paperwork and pedigree as its metal — both of which an aircraft's records require.
Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance.
The Cessna name is among the most recognized in aviation — founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and part of Textron since 1992, today a cornerstone of Textron Aviation. 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.
