The Piper PA-28R-180 Cherokee Arrow was the first retractable-gear variant of the successful Cherokee series, bridging the gap between fixed-gear trainers and high-performance singles in general aviation. First flown on June 8, 1967, it was a low-wing single-engine monoplane that seated four occupants with retractable tricycle landing gear. Spanning 30 feet with a length of 24 feet 3 inches, the Arrow was powered by a 180-horsepower Lycoming IO-360 engine enabling cruise speeds around 140-150 knots. It was manufactured by Piper Aircraft Company at their Vero Beach, Florida facility.
