When William T. Piper, an oilman from Pennsylvania, provided the Taylor Brothers an investment of a mere $400 in 1929, the Piper Airplane Company was formed. The first factory was based in Bradford, PA and was the factory that produced the now ubiquitous Piper Cub. Go to any air show or gathering and opportunities are high there are numerous of the yellow J3s present. Today, Piper makes a selection of plane for General Aviation and commercial usages. The Taylor Airplane Company was going broke in the late 20s, creating Piper to take notice. After the first investment, he added an added $791 and appointed himself the CEO. Piper kept the Taylors on personnel as they had the expertise to design the plane. By December 1935, tensions ran too high between the Taylors and Piper, resulting the Piper releasing the Taylors after buying out their shares of the airplane provider.
Beyond the J3, today’s Piper line up features the Warrior. The Piper Warrior is a single-engine, piston driven airplane considered a “low-wing” plane that makes a great aircraft for sale. The Warrior is part of the Piper PA-28 series of aircraft. Look under the cowling on the Warrior to discover Lycoming 150 hp O-320-E3D engines. There are four seats in thew Warrior by having rear memory space and cargo areas.
The Piper Malibu is a solitary engine, six-seat, pressurized cabin aircraft initially constructed in 1984. Most models have a piston engine, however a turboprop version is obtainable. Earlier variations have a King panel by having newer editions being all Garmin. The engine has been upgraded over the years as well.
Today, Piper is still considered the most functional plane line. Through the end of 2009, Piper has produced over one hundred forty thousand airplane and today ninety thousand are still in active flying service. After 40 years, Piper Plane still supplies the same excellent, craftsmanship, and excitement that it did when they first began.

1) i love your name, i was listening to KC this morning 2) id say 1969 maybe? yeah ! i guess so? haha BQ: probably led zeppelin one or two BQ2: sgt. peppers *is* amazing…
67 & 72 were awesome!! BQ-Journeyman/Clapton BQ2-Layla/Derek & The Dominos
I saw my first airplane crash today. I saw a Piper Saratoga land with it’s gear up. Have you ever seen that? The plane was fighting the wind as it came in and never lowered it’s gear. Hit the runway and slid all the way to the end of the runway into the fence. I was surprised, it went further down the runway on it’s belly than on it’s wheels. (I suppose brakes cause more friction than smooth aluminum.) No one was hurt. The Pilot claimed he was so worried and distracted by the crosswind that he forgot about the landing gear. This is the 5th accident here in 3 weeks associated with our unusual high winds. 3 crashes, unfortunately, resulted in fatalities.
no, never seen that
That sounds terrible. I have not seen a plane crash, plenty of car crashes though, and I survived a car crash that totalled two cars. I cry when I see things like that.
So sorry to hear of the fatalities. Have children that love to fly. I hate to hear of crashes. Very high accident rate, sounds like they could use a control tower there. Where are you located that you are having such high winds? We had high winds today in Minnesota. Hope there was no small aircraft up here today.
I agree with the other gentlemen about being honest. Just remember though, whenever answering interview questions, especially aviation related ones, give the example, and tell them what you learned from it. Also, be confident and don’t let it bug you. Good Luck!
I would report it, but make sure its clear it was very minor and did not require an NTSB report.
If you lie and they find out about it, you won’t get the job. If they find out about it after you were hired, they’ll say you lied during your interview and will fire you. Best to be honest about things like this. Hitting a gate isn’t the end of your career. What counts is your attitude about it and what you’ve learned. When asked, be honest. Admit that it was your fault. Night time, unfamiliar airport… those are just excuses (airline pilots are expected to be able to navigate unfamiliar airports at night without hitting things). You f’ed up. Admit it and explain how you’ve learned from that mistake. Turn it into a positive experience.
lol nice
yea, alright. it’s amusing.
ahhh, and my best friend is becoming a pilot!
Why do launches into outer space have to reach such velocity? With oxy supplied why can they not just coast? I have never understood why, if an internal oxygen source were used, an airplane could not escape Earth’s gravity in a slow climb? Why could a pilot not load up a couple of oxygen bottles and gradually climb out in a Piper Cub?
Airplanes use air for lift, the air becomes thinner as you approach space, less air less lift. So an airplane cannot go to space because the only reason it stays in the air is because there is air. Rockets use their own “lift” from a downward pointed nozzle so no air needed. The rocket must achieve a high enough speed to have a large enough energy to get out of the gravitational well of the earth.
Because anything travelling under 11 km/s will not have enough momentum to overcome Earths gravity. Speed and angle of entry are about the most important things in space travel. Getting off the planet is quite possibly the hardest part.
The amount of Oxygen to power the engine would be quite heavy if the engine is not using outside air oxygen. The air thins with altitude, there is not enough air to support the upward lift of the wings for the craft to continue to climb or to pull oxygen out of the air for the engine.
The problem with a pilot in a plane like the Piper Cub, trying to escape earth’s gravity, is air pressure. The plane needs a certain density of air traveling across the wings to stay up. It can’t go fast enough to get enough air passing by at high altitudes where the air is thinner. On top of that, the engine requires enough air to keep the combustion going. If the air gets too thin, the engine stalls.
Advanced planes can almost reach outer space and i’m sure they could reach it if properly designed. The problem is not just reaching space but getting in orbit, staying in space with the engines shut down. For that you need to use a great amount of energy only available to rockets, not planes. One could say that the shuttle is kinda a plane, or a rocket/plane hybrid. It doesnt matter how you call it, you still need rocket engines to enter a orbit and a piper doesnt have them.
Well, a propeller airplane is going to run out of air and therefore propulsion. A jet could keep going if it had an oxygen supply—you’ve basically invented the rocket. Rocket planes, such as the X15, do make it into “space” but not into orbit, because it’s almost impossible to attain orbital velocity with a single-stage chemical rocket—the needed fuel to total mass ratio is very difficult to achieve with the strength of real materials for the vehicle body. To achieve orbit with a chemical rocket, you need multiple stages, so that some of the non-fuel launch weight can be dumped. At least two, and more likely three stages. But look up “Pegasus launch vehicle”. An atomic rocket, or better yet a matter-antimatter powered rocket, could make it into orbit in one piece.
does the airplane Exceed RC 3 Channel J3 Piper Cub EP Electric Trainer Airplane ARF come with elctronics? I was thinking about buying it from nitroplanes and I don’t know for sure if its just a body kit or if it’s the kit I see in the video I see on the page
Sorry if you read the last,electric,this one.Yes. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/c.....&P=ML
