Aerodynamics and the PA-18-150, Super Cub

Greetings aviation enthusiasts,


Would anyone happen to know the G-load rating for a Piper Super Cub (PA-18-150)? I understand they are quite customizable, but I am 7 weeks into an Aerodynamics course at ERAU and would love to find actual performance data for the various calculations I have been having to do (aside from general manufacture specs in the manual and interpolation). I am used to technical manuals listing nearly every performance chart one can conceive, as well as every limitation available--but that's "specific" data for military aircraft I'm used to. Having no joy for the Piper in this realm!


Worse comes to worst, I can just go with the "normal rating" category according to 14 C.F.R. Part 23 and Part 25 which lists +3.8 to -1.5, but if anyone has expanded/detailed performance data I can reference--that would be excellent!


Thanks much!

Pa 18-150 is a CAR 3 aircraft so the numbers might be different.

A few years ago at the New Holstein fly this group came up with a CFD model.

That is spectacular!

Who would have thought that the aerodynamics of a cow would be so close to a SuperCub.

Alot of them are even closer to a pig ;-)

That’s the beauty of it Glenn. It’s rare to see a sad pig. Even when it’s bacon it still makes pilots happy [emoji2]

But they did it facing the wrong way! Cows are good wind indicators, they normally stand with their buts to the wind!

I’m quite sure this cow is faster than my Cub.
