The Piper J‑5 Cub Cruiser was a larger, more powerful version of the Piper J‑3 Cub. It featured a wider fuselage with the pilot in the front seat and two passengers in the rear. Powered by a 75‑hp Continental engine, it cruised at about 75 mph and was marketed as a three‑seat aircraft, though it was more accurately a "two‑and‑a‑half‑seater".
