The Citabria is a light single-engine airplane, first produced in 1964. It was designed for flight training, utility, and personal use. Its name spelled backwards is airbatic. When the Citabria was introduced, it was the only airplane produced in the U.S. that was certified for aerobatics. Citabrias were also popular as trainers and personal aircraft.
The Citabria is powered by a 150 hp Lycoming O-320-A2B engine.
