The Thorp T-18 Tiger pioneered the high-performance all-metal homebuilt aircraft movement, proving that amateur-built planes could achieve airline-like speeds while remaining simple to construct. First flown in the early 1960s, it was a low-wing single-engine monoplane that seated two occupants in tandem configuration. With its distinctive bubble canopy and sleek aluminum construction, the T-18 could cruise at over 200 mph on just 125-180 horsepower. The aircraft was designed by independent engineer John Thorp as his 18th aircraft design. AviatorDB tracks 43 Thorp aircraft currently registered in the FAA database. The ICAO type designator for this aircraft model is T18.
