The CubCrafters CC-11 Carbon Cub revolutionized the Light Sport Aircraft category by combining traditional Super Cub heritage with modern carbon fiber construction. First flown in the mid-2000s, it is a high-wing, single-engine monoplane accommodating two occupants in tandem seating. Weighing 300 pounds less than its Piper Super Cub predecessor while delivering superior performance, the Carbon Cub features a 37-foot wingspan and exceptional short-field capabilities. Manufactured by CubCrafters Inc. of Yakima, Washington, production began in 2009 and continues today.
