Piper PA-28 Cherokee History :

Piper started looking for a design to replace the ageing Tri-Pacer and the Colt. The design team turned to the PA-28-150 and PA-28-160 Cherokees. Introduction came in 1961. The new PA-22 series sported a low wing design and was an all metal construction. The prototypes Cherokee were powered by either a 160 hp engine, production aircraft a choice of two engines, the 160 hp and the 150 hp engine. Deliveries started in the early 1961’s. In 1962 a 180 hp engine was offered.

Piper produced several variants of the Cherokee family by installing different engines ranging from 140 to 300 hp. Some engines even had turbo charging. The Cherokee Family also offered the aircraft with a fixed landing gear or a retractable landing gear, a constant speed propeller or a fixed pitched propeller. Piper even offered the Cherokee with a stretched Cabin to carry up to Six passengers. The aircraft continues in production today with The New Piper Aircraft Company as the Saratoga.
