The Cessna 182 was introduced in 1956 as a [[tricycle gear]] variant of the [[Cessna 180|180]]. In 1957, the 182A variant was introduced along with the name '''Skylane'''. As production continued, later models were improved regularly with features such as a wider fuselage, swept tailfin with rear "omni-vision" window, enlarged baggage compartment, higher gross weights, landing gear changes, etc. The "restart" aircraft built after 1996 were different in many other details including a different engine, new seating design, etc.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}
By mid-2013, Cessna planned to introduce the next model of the 182T, designated the JT-A, using the {{convert|227|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[SMA SR305-230]] diesel engine running on [[Jet-A]] with a burn rate of {{convert|11|u.s.gal}} per hour and cruise at {{convert|155|kn|km/h|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name=aopa2012>{{cite journal|journal=AOPA Pilot|title=Jet A for your Skylane|author=Thomas B Haines|date=October 2012}}</ref><ref name="Grady22Jul12">{{cite news|url = http://www.avweb.com/news/airventure/EAAAirVenture2012_CessnaUnveilsJetAEngineForSkylane_207018-1.html|title = Cessna Unveils Jet A Engine For Skylane|access-date = 24 July 2012|last = Grady|first = Mary|date = 22 July 2012| work = AVweb}}</ref> Cessna has no timeline for the JT-A
Cessna 182s were also built in Argentina by DINFIA (called A182), and by [[Reims Aviation]], France, as the F182.
