Grumman AA-5B Tiger

About the Tiger

The final variant of the AA-5 line was the AA-5B Tiger. The Tiger was designed by Grumman engineers and was first produced in late 1974 as the 1975 model. It was the outcome of the same redesign work on the AA-5 Traveler that resulted in the 150 hp Cheetah, and it was originally little more than the same aircraft with a Lycoming O-360-A4K 180 hp engine, resulting in a 139-knot cruise speed. Gross weight was increased from the AA-5/AA-5A's 2,200 lb to 2,400 lb on the Tiger.

While the earlier AA-1s and AA-5s did not change much from year to year, the AA-5B Tiger underwent almost continual improvement. As with the AA-5A, the AA-5B was continued in production by Gulfstream when they purchased Grumman's American division. Gulfstream ceased production of all piston-engined aircraft in 1979, and the highly successful Tiger design went out of production after 1,323 aircraft had been delivered.
