    The
    Piper PA-8 Skycycle
    was a 1940s American single-seat light aircraft designed and built by Piper Aircraft at Lock Haven. Towards the end of 1944 Piper announced a number of aircraft it intended to build after the war. One of these was the
    PWA-8
    (Post War Airplane 8). An aerodynamic test aircraft was built with the name
    Cub Cycle
    and it first flew on 27 August 1944 with a small two cylinder Franklin engine. The Franklin engine was replaced by a 37hp Continental A-40-3 and the aircraft first flew with the Continental engine on 12 September 1944. The Skycycle was a fabric-covered mid-wing single-engined single-seat monoplane with a tailwheel landing gear. The fuselage was produced using a belly fuel tank as used on the F4U Corsair. The Cub Cycle was scrapped and a similar but new aircraft was built with the name
    Skycycle
    . The Skycycle first flew on 29 January 1945 using the same Continental engine as the Cub Cycle. The aircraft was further modified in 1945 with a 55hp Lycoming O-145-A2 engine and designated the
    PA-8 Skycycle
    . No further examples were built.
