TOMAHAWK Aviation Parts list page 1

One type of tomahawk aircraft is the Piper PA-38-112 Tomahawk which is considered a two-seat, fixed tricycle gear general aviation airplane, initially developed for touring, flight training, and personal use.

The Tomahawk was Piper's effort at developing an cheaper two-place trainer. Before developing the plane, Piper extensively surveyed flight instructors for their say into the design in which they asked for a more spinnable plane for training purposes because the other 2-place trainers like the Cessna 150 or 152 were both developed to instinctively fly out of a spin.

Another feature of the Piper Tomahawk that enhance its appropriateness as a primary trainer is that the flight control forces copy those aircrafts that are much. The Tomahawk was launched in 1977 as regarded it as 1978 model. Tomahawk II were the 1981 and 1982 models . They have improved features like enhanced cabin heating and windshield defroster.
