Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Piper Aircraft shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Piper Aircraft offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Piper Aircraft at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Piper Aircraft? Wrong! If the Piper Aircraft is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Piper Aircraft then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Piper Aircraft? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Piper Aircraft and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Piper Aircraft wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Piper Aircraft then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Piper Aircraft site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

Piper Aircraft, Inc., is a manufacturer of general aviation aircraft, located in Vero Beach, Florida.

History , with the Piper Cub logo superimposed at the top.

Originally founded as the Taylor Brothers Aircraft Manufacturing Company in September of 1927 in aviation by Clarence Gilbert Taylor and Gordon A. Taylor in Rochester, New York. The company was renamed to Taylor Brothers Aircraft Corporation in April of 1928, shortly before Gordon Taylor died in a plane crash on April 24, 1928 in aviation. The company was enticed to move to Bradford, Pennsylvania with the promise of larger facility and investment capital from local businessmen, including an initial investment of $400 from local oilman William T. Piper. The move was completed in September, 1929 in aviation.

In late 1930 in aviation the company filed for bankruptcy and William T. Piper purchased the assets of the company for $761. Reorganized as the Taylor Aircraft Company, Piper effectively took control of the firm when he assumed the position of corporate secretary-treasurer, although he retained C. G. Taylor in the role of president. Piper, often called the "Henry Ford of Aviation", firmly believed that a simple-to-operate low-cost private airplane would flourish, even in the darkest depths of the Great Depression.

In December of 1935 in aviation, after a series of clashes, William Piper bought out C. G. Taylor, who left the company and went on to form the Taylorcraft Aircraft. On March 16, 1937 in aviation a fire destroyed the Bradford factory and Piper relocated to an abandoned silk mill in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. By November, 1937, all traces of Taylors' involvement with the company were erased when it was renamed to Piper Aircraft Corporation.

Manufacture ceased in the mid 1980's when, together with other sellers of light aircraft in the USA, increasing insurance premiums made continued operation financially impossible. Upon limitation of liability provided by new legislation in the early 90's, manufacturing re-commenced in 1995 in aviation. The firm was re-branded New Piper Aircraft at that time.

As of July 2003 in aviation, American Capital Strategies, Ltd. owns 94% of Piper's voting equity.

In August 2006 in aviation the firm dropped the "New" from its name, reverting to Piper Aircraft. Also in that month a partnership with Honda was announced to market the new Honda HondaJet.

Aircraft Products

Piper produced the Piper Cub, a two seat, 65 horsepower (48 kW) high-wing, single-engine aircraft. The Cub was the first inexpensive training aircraft produced in large numbers. Many former military examples were sold to civilian owners over the 1950-1995 period and seem certain to see many more years in recreational use. The more powerful Piper PA-18 Super Cub is popular for use as a glider tug. Many North Americans still think of all light aircraft as "Piper Cubs."

The Piper Cherokee has been one of the company's most successful products with variants being manufactured almost every other year. Both this design and the twin-engined Piper Seneca are used for pilot training around the world. The Piper Apache was one of the first aircraft associated with the term "air taxi" although it has largely been superseded in that role by faster and more spacious designs from the competitive Beechcraft Corporation.



Beginning production in 1965, the Piper PA-32 Series raised the bar for versatility in 6 or 7 seat single-engine airplanes. Variously named the "Piper PA-32 Series", "Piper PA-32 Series", and "Piper PA-32 Series", with both fixed and retractable gear models, and with normally aspirated, injected, and turbo-charged engines, the Piper PA-32 Seriess are very capable and successful airplanes. They have been widely deployed in a variety of missions (small air-taxies, heavy load-haulers, personal business, etc.) all over the United States. The Piper Cherokee Sixs and Piper Cherokee Sixs are still manufactured and sold today.

With the streamlined and powerful single-engined Piper Malibu, the Piper company maintains a presence in the lighter-end of the corporate aircraft market.
