Me thinks there is a design lesson to be learned.

 

"Subside" (forward openening) doors are (almost) a car feature of the distant past, for very similar reasons.😈

i was talking about the 172. the hinge is at the front so you are pushing against the airflow.

i am not talking about 1930 suicide doors.

No . Gullwing doors open upwards.

Because it has 2 wing struts any other way would make it too hard to get in and out.
