Den Piper J-5 Cub Cruiser var en större, kraftfullare version av den grundläggande Piper J-3 Cub. Den designades bara två år efter J-3 Cub och skilde sig genom att ha en bredare flygkropp med piloten sittande i framsätet och två passagerare sittande i baksätet. Planet var utrustat med en Continental-motor på 75 hk och hade en marschfart på 75 mph. Även om det officiellt är en tresitsig bil, skulle den mer korrekt beskrivas som en "två-och-en-halv-sitsig", eftersom två vuxna skulle finna sig ganska trånga i det bredare baksätet. Cruisern såldes för 1 798 dollar när den först designades.

Den 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.
- Engine: Drivs av en 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.
