So far, 2017 looks like a good year for piston airplane sales. The General Aviation Manufacturers Association released its shipment report for the first two quarters of the year, indicating an overall increase in piston shipments of 5.6 percent over the same period last year.
It was particularly good news for piston airplane producers in the United States, which increased their deliveries by 6.7 percent over last year from 701 to 734 airplanes this year. Cessna was by far the biggest winner, increasing its piston product delivery numbers from 65 to 98 airplanes — better than a 50 percent increase.
