  Piper J-3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Piper Model J-3 'Cub' was originally designed by the Taylor brothers as a small, light and simple utility aircraft.
It is one of the most popular and best-known light aircraft of all time, and its simplicity, affordability, and popularity invoked comparisons to the Ford Model T automobile.
Modernized and up-engined versions are produced today by Cub Crafters of Washington and by American Legend Aircraft in Texas, as the Cub continues to be sought after by bush pilots for its STOL capabilities.

 What's a Piper Cub?
So for openers, let me say that a Cub must have been built by the Piper Aircraft Company, or by its predecessor, the Taylor Aircraft Company--or by its successor, the New Piper Aircraft Company, or by somebody authorized to build what are essentially reproductions of the Piper Cub.
Piper must have thought so, too, since he included "Cub" in the names of both aircraft.

Piper Aircraft Corp. case in May 1981.  The defendant has not explained why that document was not produced in this case despite its assertion that it has produced all internal memos relating to the PA-31 in its possession.  Additionally, plaintiffs' Exhibit No. 3 at the evidentiary hearing was the letter from Mr.

 Aircraft: Piper PA-48 Enforcer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Sarasota, FL I worked for Piper on the PA-42 line at the time the Enforcer was being built off in the corner.
When the USAF was developing their ground attack aircraft concept they put out for bid and design for an aircraft to fit that role.
Simply put, the Enforcer lost out to far more complex aircraft like the F-15 and F-16 because these aircraft are "more sexy" than some old, re-vamped WW II aircraft, but which both cost more and are just not as good at the low-and-slow mission profiles required by COIN operations.
