A Piper J-5 kölyökcirkáló was a larger, more powerful version of the basic Piper J-3 Cub. It was designed just two years after the J-3 Cub, and differed by having a wider fuselage with the pilot sitting in the front seat and two passengers sitting in the rear seat. Equipped with a 75-hp Continental engine the plane’s cruising speed was 75 mph. Though officially a three-seater, it would be more accurately described as a “two-and-a-half-seater”, as two adults would find themselves quite cramped in the wider rear seat. The Cruiser sold for $1,798 when it was first designed.

A Piper J-5A Cub Cruiser was a light, three-seat touring monoplane developed by Piper Aircraft, serving as a larger and more powerful derivative of the highly popular J-3 Cub.
Introduced in 1940, its primary civil role was as “aviation’s lowest priced three-place airplane,” aimed at private flying, passenger-carrying, and training.
Key Design and Configuration
- Seating: Designed for three occupants (Pilot in front, two passengers side-by-side in the wider rear seat). It was often described as a “two-and-a-half-seater” due to the cramped rear bench.
- Motor: Powered by a Continental A-75-8 or A-75-9 four-cylinder, horizontally-opposed, air-cooled piston engine.
- Airframe: Construction features a steel tube fuselage and wooden spar wings, both fabric-covered, typical of Piper’s “Cub” line.
- Successor: The J-5 series eventually led to the PA-12 “Super Cruiser,” which was more successful post-war, featuring a more powerful engine and design changes developed from the military ambulance variants (HE-1/AE-1).
The J-5A’s fuselage was noticeably wider than the J-3 Cub to accommodate the side-by-side rear seating.
