Piper PA-6 Sky Sedan

The Piper PA-6 Sky Sedan was a 1940s American four-seat light aircraft that Piper designed and built only in prototype form at its Lock Haven, Pennsylvania factory. It began as the PWA-6, a post-war airplane announced at the end of 1944, and the 1945 prototype was a development of Piper's unsuccessful two-seat PT-1 trainer. It was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a fabric-covered metal frame, a four-seat cabin and a retractable tailwheel landing gear, powered by a 165 horsepower Continental E-165. A second aircraft built in 1947 was all metal with a 205 horsepower Continental E-185 and a one-piece windscreen. Neither version went into production as the short post-war boom in general aviation ended.
