Question for Cessna airframe techies...
I understand that the Cessna 152 Aerobat (A152) differs to the C152 (non-Aerobat) by being stronger, i.e. reinforced, in some areas, hence has a higher Vne etc.
Can anyway tell me exactly where the Aerobat is structurally different from the non-Aerobat? And if there are any other differences?
I've poured through the POHs of the two and can't find the answer.
Many thanks.

Some of the skins are of thicker material, also you will find gussets internally such as where some of the ribs join the spars etc and in the fin etc.......... the 150 also had roof windows, but not sure if the 152 has them, I think you also have a full harness again like the 150............ Engine wise I cant remember if they are different, the 150 Aerobat has a RR Continental 0 200 but it is a while since i touched a 152 Aerobat........
Will have a look tomorrow through my maintenance manuals if I get time

The Best Cessna Book
Get hold of a book called "Wings for the world" by the late William D Thompson. Bill was a Cessna test pilot and outlines all the changes between models.
Aerobat has heavier struts same section as 185 plus other minor structural changes. 4 point harness and jetisonable doors.
Skylights were available on bothe Aerobat and non Aerobat.
