Cherokee Piper PA-28-140

The Cherokee PA-28 “Piper” is a low wing, single piston-engine four place monoplane. This particular PA-28 is experimental as it has been modified with the following structural changes: full span wise flaps, spoilers for roll control, and dive brakes on the upper and lower center portions of both wings. The aircraft can fly at high approach angles ( 10+ degrees) while still maintaining glide path, touchdown point and airspeed control (low L/D approach).
