Grumman Tiger (Grumman American AA-5B) 

My first flight with the famous Grumman Tiger.
Thanks to Pilot and Owner Alain.
AA-5B 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.
The Tiger was the outcome of the same redesign work on the AA-5 Traveler that resulted in the 150 hp (110 kW) Cheetah and it was originally little more than the same aircraft with a Lycoming O-360-A4K 180 hp (130 kW) engine, resulting in a 139-knot (257 km/h) cruise speed. Gross weight was increased from the AA-5/AA-5A's 2,200 lb (1,000 kg) to 2,400 lb (1,100 kg) on the Tiger. Externally the Tiger looked much like the AA-5 Traveler and AA-5A Cheetah so once again Grumman's marketing department came up with a distinctive decal package to differentiate the design - this time a "galloping 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 1323 aircraft had been delivered. (Source Wikipedia)
Der Tiger war das Ergebnis derselben Neugestaltungsarbeiten am AA-5 Traveller, die zum 150 PS (110 kW) starken Geparden führten, und war ursprünglich kaum mehr als dasselbe Flugzeug mit einer Lycoming O-360-A4K 180 PS (130 kW) ) Motor, was zu einer Reisegeschwindigkeit von 139 Knoten (257 km / h) führt. Das Bruttogewicht wurde von 1.000 kg des AA-5 / AA-5A auf 1.100 kg des Tigers erhöht. Äußerlich sah der Tiger dem AA-5 Traveller und dem AA-5A Cheetah sehr ähnlich, daher entwickelte die Marketingabteilung von Grumman erneut ein unverwechselbares Aufkleberpaket, um das Design zu differenzieren - diesmal einen "galoppierenden Tiger".
Während sich die früheren AA-1 und AA-5 von Jahr zu Jahr nicht wesentlich änderten, verbesserte sich der AA-5B Tiger fast kontinuierlich. Wie beim AA-5A wurde der AA-5B von Gulfstream weiter produziert, als sie die amerikanische Division von Grumman kauften. Gulfstream stellte 1979 die Produktion aller kolbengetriebenen Flugzeuge ein und das äußerst erfolgreiche Tiger-Design wurde nach Auslieferung von 1323 Flugzeugen eingestellt. (Quelle Wikipedia)
