Besides being sleeker and strut-less, the problem was the 177 had a stabilator, just like Piper’s competing Cherokees did. The cantilever, laminar-flow wing is similar to that on the Cessna 210 and it is positioned far enough aft to improve visibility than in previous high-wing airplanes. The strut less design clears the view out of the side. Stepping into the Cardinal is more like sliding into a sedan than climbing into a pickup. One of the most notable design features is the slopped windshield which makes the aircraft extremely aerodynamic and provides better visibility.
