Manufacturer: Piper Aircraft

The Piper PA‑18 Super Cub is a two‑seat, single‑engine monoplane introduced in 1949 by Piper Aircraft. It evolved from the PA‑11 Cub Special and the earlier J‑3 Cub, tracing its lineage back to the 1930s Taylor E‑2 Cub. Over 10,000 were built in almost 40 years of production, and the aircraft is widely used for bush flying, banner towing, and glider towing.
