The design of the M-18 Mite aimed an exceptionally low operating cost aircraft. It is mostly built of wood covered in fabric, with a wing spar made of spruce and plywood. The aircraft is also fitted with a distinct safe-trim system that connects the wing flaps to the tail trim system and fits the horizontal […]
The Mooney M10 is almost identical to the Alon A2-A besides its new empennage, ailerons, as well as fuel tank vent valves. The most apparent distinction is the removal of the famous Ercoupe-style dual fin and changed it with a tail built to enable the aircraft to spin. Modifications made with the ailerons, together with […]
In January 1960, the manufacturing company Mooney International Corporation began to produce aluminum-based aircraft that would replace the initial wooden structure of the M20. The company persuaded Ralph Harmon to leave McDonnel Aircraft and be in charge of the engineering efforts of the M20. Toward the end of the year, the all-metal M20B was finalized. […]
The Mooney M20 was designed by Albert Mooney, one of the founders of the Mooney Aircraft Company. It was the twentieth design and his most successful creation. The M20 is a series of general aviation aircraft powered by a piston engine with low wings and tricycle undercarriage. The aircraft was built in several versions for […]
The Piper Tomahawk was developed by Piper in an effort to build an economical two-place trainer aircraft. In 1977, the aircraft was introduced as a 1978 version. The Tomahawk was produced from 1978 to 1982 with a total number of 2,484 Tomahawks built. Tomahawk II was the designation given to the 1981 and 1982 versions. […]
On December 6, 1963, the PA-32 took to the skies for the first time. In 1965, the PA-32 started as a further derivative of the PA-28 Cherokee light aircraft. It was initially fitted with a 260-horsepower engine designated as PA32-260 Cherokee Six that could accommodate six to seven persons on board. The aircraft was designed […]
On December 5, 1969, the prototype designated as PA-36 Pawnee II took to the air for the first time. It was powered by a 260 horsepower Lycoming engine. In 1972, the Piper PA-36 was initially introduced as an improved version of the PA-25 Pawnee fitted with an uprated Continental Tiara 6-285 horizontally-opposed engine of 285 […]
In 1947, the three-seat PA-12 Super Cruiser was evolved into a four-seat aircraft with a widened cabin and incorporating slotted flaps. The high-wing was retained, as well as the fixed conventional landing gear. The new aircraft was designated as the PA-14 Family Cruiser. On March 21, 1947, the PA-14 prototype took to the air for […]
In August 1946, the PA-11 prototype took to the air for the first time. Two pre-production aircraft followed later that year. These earlier PA-11s were fitted with an improved fuselage and wings of the J-3 Cub. In March 1947, the first production PA-11 was completed at the Piper factory in Lock Haven. The aircraft was […]
The Piper PA-15 was the first aircraft designed by Piper Aircraft after the Second World War. The manufacturing company used the same production tooling that built the Piper J-3 Cub light aircraft and had the same tailplane, landing gear, and most parts of the wing. In comparison with its predecessor, the PA-15 Vagabond has one […]
