Piper Aircraft

USA Est. 1927

Piper made flying accessible. The J-3 Cub trained a generation of pilots and became the most beloved light aircraft ever built. Bright yellow, simple, and honest. That's the Piper DNA.

Heritage

Started as Taylor Brothers Aircraft Manufacturing before William T. Piper took over and renamed it. The Cub trained tens of thousands of WWII military pilots, and the company never stopped building approachable, reliable aircraft. Still producing planes in Vero Beach, Florida, still putting people in the sky who wouldn't otherwise get there.
