PA 28-161 Warrior II of atThe Piper PA-28 Cherokee is a family of two-seat or four-seat built by and designed for flight training, air taxi and personal use. The PA-28 family of aircraft comprises all-metal, unpressurized, single-engined, airplanes with low-mounted wings. They have a single door on the right side, which is entered by stepping on the wing.The first PA-28 received its type certificate from the in 1960 and the series remains in production to this day. Current models are the Warrior, Arrow, Archer TX and LX, and Pilot 100 and i100. The Archer was discontinued in 2009, but with investment from new company ownership, the model was put back into production in 2010.The PA-28 series competes with the high-winged and the similarly low-winged and designs.Piper has created variations within the Cherokee family by installing engines ranging from 140 to 300 hp (105–220 kW), offering, retractable landing gear, and stretching the fuselage to accommodate six people. The (initially known as 'Cherokee Six') is a larger, six-seat variant of the PA-28. The variant was in production until 2009.
PA-28-151, built in 1976At the time of the Cherokee's introduction, Piper's primary single-engined, all-metal aircraft was the, a larger, faster aircraft with retractable landing gear and a constant-speed propeller. Karl Bergey, and designed the Cherokee as a less expensive alternative to the Comanche, with lower manufacturing and parts costs to compete with the Cessna 172, although some later Cherokees also featured retractable gear and constant-speed propellers.The Cherokee and Comanche lines continued in parallel production, serving different market segments for over a decade, until Comanche production was ended in 1972, to be replaced by the family. The original design. A record-breaking UK pilot, in her PA-28-236 Dakota: The aircraft was built in 1994.The original Cherokees were the Cherokee 150 and Cherokee 160 (PA-28-150 and PA-28-160), which started production in 1961 (unless otherwise mentioned, the model number always refers to horsepower).In 1962, Piper added the Cherokee 180 (PA-28-180) powered by a 180-horsepower (134-kW) engine. The extra power made it practical to fly with all four seats filled (depending on passenger weight and fuel loading) and the model remains popular on the used-airplane market. In 1968, the cockpit was modified to replace the 'push-pull'-style engine throttle controls with quadrant levers. In addition, a third window was added to each side, giving the fuselage the more modern look seen in current production.Piper continued to expand the line rapidly.
In 1963, the company introduced the even more powerful Cherokee 235 (PA-28-235), which competed favorably with the for load-carrying capability. The Cherokee 235 featured a Lycoming O-540 engine de-rated to 235 horsepower (175 kW) and a longer wing which would eventually be used for the Cherokee Six.
It included tip tanks of 17-gallon capacity each, bringing the total fuel capacity of the Cherokee 235 to 84 gallons. The aircraft had its fuselage stretched in 1973, giving much more leg room in the rear.
The stabilator area was increased, as well. In 1973, the marketing name was changed from '235' to 'Charger'. In 1974, it was changed again to 'Pathfinder'. Production of the Pathfinder continued until 1977.
No 1978 models were built. In 1979, the aircraft was given the Piper tapered wing and the name was changed again, this time to Dakota. In 1964, the company filled in the bottom end of the line with the Cherokee 140 (PA-28-140), which was designed for training and initially shipped with only two seats. The PA-28-140 engine was slightly modified shortly after its introduction to produce 150 horsepower (112 kW), but kept the -140 name.In 1967, Piper introduced the PA-28R-180 Cherokee Arrow. This aircraft featured a constant-speed propeller and retractable landing gear and was powered by a 180-horsepower (134-kW) Lycoming IO-360-B1E engine. A 200-hp (149-kW) version powered by a Lycoming IO-360-C1C was offered as an option beginning in 1969 and designated the PA-28R-200; the 180-hp model was dropped after 1971. At the time the Arrow was introduced, Piper removed the Cherokee 150 and Cherokee 160 from production.The Arrow II came out in 1972, featuring a five-inch fuselage stretch to increase legroom for the rear-seat passengers.
In 1977, Piper introduced the Arrow III (PA-28R-201), which featured a semi-tapered wing and longer stabilator, a design feature that had previously been introduced successfully on the PA-28-181 and provided better low-speed handling. It also featured larger fuel tanks, increasing capacity from 50 to 77 gallons.The first turbocharged model, the PA-28R-201T, was also offered in 1977, powered by a six-cylinder engine equipped with a Rajay turbocharger. A three-bladed propeller was optional.In 1979, the Arrow was restyled again as the PA-28RT-201 Arrow IV, featuring a 'T' tail that resembled the other aircraft in the Piper line at the time.In 1971, Piper released a Cherokee 140 variant called the Cherokee Cruiser 2+2. Although the plane kept the 140 designation, it was, in fact, a 150-hp plane and was shipped mainly as a four-seat version. In 1973, the Cherokee 180 was named the Cherokee Challenger and had its fuselage lengthened slightly and its wings widened and the Cherokee 235 was named the Charger with similar airframe modifications. Main article:In 1965, Piper developed the Piper Cherokee Six, designated the PA-32, by stretching the PA-28 design. It featured a lengthened fuselage and seating for one pilot and five passengers.
Brazilian, Argentinian and Chilean production PA-28s were built under license in Brazil as the EMB-711A and EMB-711C Corisco (PA-28R-200), EMB-711B (PA-28R-201), EMB-711T (PA-28RT-201) and EMB-711ST Corisco Turbo (PA-28RT-201T) and the EMB-712 Tupi (PA-28-181). Argentinian production was carried out by of. Built 960 airplanes between 1972 and 1995, including the Cherokee Archer, Dakota, Arrow and Turbo Arrow. The PA-28-236 Dakota was also assembled under license by the Maintenance Wing of the (which later became known as ). By September 1982, 20 Dakotas had been assembled in Chile. New Piper Aircraft. Piper Archer DXThe original company declared bankruptcy in 1991.
In 1995, the New Piper Aircraft company was created. It was renamed Piper Aircraft once again in 2006. The cockpit of a Piper PA-28-151 Cherokee Warrior (2016)Older Cherokees use an overhead crank for stabilator trim (correctly called an antiservo tab), while later ones use a trim wheel on the floor between the front seats, immediately behind the flap bar.All Cherokees have a brake lever under the pilot side of the instrument panel. Differential toe brakes on the rudder pedals were an optional add-on for earlier Cherokees and became standard with later models.Some earlier Cherokees used control knobs for the throttle, mixture, and propeller advance (where applicable), while later Cherokees use a collection of two or three control levers in a throttle quadrant.Cherokees normally include a rudder trim knob, which actually controls a set of springs acting on the rudder pedals rather than an external trim tab on the rudder—in other words, the surface is trimmed by control tension rather than aerodynamically.
