DESIGN INFORMATION

ENGINE AND PROPELLER

The Cherokee 180 is powered by a Lycoming O-360-A4A four

cylinder, direct drive, horizontally opposed engine rated at 180 HP at

2700 RPM. It is furnished with a starter, 60 ampere 12 volt alternator,

shielded ignition, vacuum pump drive, fuel pump, and a dry,

automotive type carburetor air filter.

The exhaust system is of the cross-over type to reduce back

pressure and improve performance, It is made entirely from stainless

steel and is equipped with dual mufflers. Aheater shroud around the

mufflers is provided to supply heat for the cabin and windshield

defrosting.

The Sensenich 76EM8S5-0-60 fixed-pitch propeller is made from a

one-piece alloy forging.

STRUCTURES

All structures are of aluminum alloy construction and are designed

to ultimate load factors well in excess of normal requirements. All

exterior surfaces are primed with etching primer and painted with

acrylic lacquer.

The wings are attached to each side of the fuselage by inserting the

butt ends of the respective main spars into aspar box carry-through

which is an integral part of the fuselage structure, providing in effect a

continuous main spar with splices at each side of the fuselage. There are

also fore and aft attachments at the rear spar and at an auxiliary front

spar.
