The Piper PA-18 Super Cub is a two‑seat, single‑engine monoplane introduced in 1949 by Piper Aircraft. Developed from the earlier PA‑11 Cub Special and tracing its lineage back to the J‑3 Cub, the Super Cub has become a staple of bush flying, banner towing, and glider towing. With over 10,000 built in almost 40 years of production, it is renowned for its short‑takeoff and short‑landing performance.
