Piper Aircraft J3c-90-8f

Manufacturer: Piper Aircraft

The Piper J‑3 Cub is an American light aircraft built from 1938 to 1947 by Piper Aircraft. It is a strut‑braced monoplane with a large rectangular wing and a welded steel‑frame fuselage covered in fabric. Powered by an air‑cooled flat‑four piston engine driving a fixed‑pitch propeller, it seats two in tandem. Its simple, lightweight construction gives excellent low‑speed handling and short‑field performance, making it a popular trainer, general‑aviation aircraft and bush plane.
