Piper Aircraft – General Aviation Manufacturer Stands by You for Achieving your Flying Needs

Piper Aircraft, Inc. is a worldwide manufacturer of general aviation aircraft headquartered in Vero Beach, Florida. Piper Aircraft is considered one of the “Big Three” in the field of general aviation manufacturing along with Beechcraft and Cessna. Piper Aircraft was founded in 1927 by Clarence Taylor and Gordon Taylor. The company was originally named Taylor Brothers Aircraft Manufacturing Company. The company was bought out by William Piper in 1935 and renamed Piper Aircraft Corporation. Since then, Piper Aircraft Corporation has continued operations throughout World War II and received much positive recognition.

Piper provided the US Armed forces with around 6,000 airplanes, including training gliders as well as aircraft components for other aircraft manufacturers. Their main contribution to the war was actually their fabrication of steel masts for mounting radar antennas. During the 40s almost 7,800 of the 35,000 civil aircraft built in the United States that year were built by Piper Aircraft. Piper Aircraft has developed and produced many different airplanes. They currently produce the Meridian, Mirage, Matrix, Seneca V, Seminole, Arrow, Archer LX, and Archer TX. Since its founding, Piper Aircraft has produced over 144,000 aircraft in 160 certified models, of which around 90,000 are still in operation.
