The Piper J-3 Cub is an American light aircraft that was built between 1938 and 1947 by Piper Aircraft. The aircraft has a simple, lightweight design, which gives it good low-speed handling properties and short-field performance. The Cub is Piper Aircraft's second most-produced model after the PA-28 Cherokee series with over 20,000 built in the United States.
Its simplicity, affordability and popularity invoke comparisons to the Ford Model T automobile.
