The Piper PA-29 Papoose was an American single-engined training monoplane that Piper designed in the late 1950s. It was a two-seat, side-by-side, low-wing aircraft built of fibreglass reinforced plastic, and although it was meant to use a 100 horsepower Continental O-200, the prototype flew with a 108 horsepower Lycoming O-235 piston engine. The prototype, registered N2900M, first flew in 1962 but the type did not enter production and only one was built. It was on loan to the EAA Museum at Oshkosh from 1973 to 1987 and is now in the Piper Aviation Museum at Lock Haven, Pennsylvania.
