The Taylor J-2 Cub (later also known as the Piper J-2 Cub) was a American two-seat light aircraft designed and built by the Taylor Aircraft Company. The company became the Piper Aircraft Company and the J-2 was first of a long line of related Piper Cub designs.

Development

The J-2 Cub was a development of the earlier H-2 Cub. In 1935 the Taylor Aircraft Company had decided to improve their Cub line of aircraft which were angular and austere-looking. The new J-2 had rounded off wing tips, fin and rudder and a wider tires. Powered by a 37hp Continental A-40-3 piston engine the aircraft appeared in October 1935 and the type certificate was issued on 14 February 1936. From September 1936 the engine was changed to a 40hp Continental A-40-4. One sub-type was produced, the J-2S which was a float-equipped version.

In 1935 C.G. Taylor left the company to start another aircraft manufacturer which would become Taylorcraft. William T. Piper bought Taylor's shares in the company. In 1936 and 1937 some aircraft were completed by Aircraft Associates in California and these were known as the Western Cub.

In 1937 the factory was destroyed by fire and the company moved to Lock Haven and production re-started in May 1937 and the company was re-named the Piper Aircraft Corporation in November 1937. The last of 1207 J-2s was completed in 1938 as production of the J-3 Cub started.
