History:

Piper Pawnee PA-25 was designed by Fred Weick as a rugged, easy to maintain Agriculture aircraft. The Pawnee is a single engined low-wing monoplane constructed of steel tubing and covered with fabric. The emphasis of this design was on pilot safety with the fuselage structure designed to collapse progressively during a low speed crash, typically experiencing during crop spraying operations. The later Pawnee D version featured twin fuel tanks mounted in the outer wing panels, further improving crashworthiness (early models of the Pawnee had a single fuel tank located between the agriculture hopper and the engine. A useful design aspect was the ability to carry a mechanic on a jump seat fitted in the hopper to assist with operations at remote stations. There are 4 Pawnee variants. PA-25-150 (initial version), PA-25-235, PA-25-260.
