The Anderson Greenwood AG-14 was a two-seat utility aircraft developed in the United States shortly after World War II. It was an unorthodox shoulder-wing braced monoplane of pod-and-boom configuration, equipped with a pusher propeller and fixed tricycle undercarriage. The prototype first flew in October 1947, but plans to mass-produce the aircraft were interrupted by the Korean War. Eventually, only five more examples were built before Anderson Greenwood abandoned the project in favour of producing aircraft components for other manufacturers.

In 1969 one AG-14 aircraft was acquired by Cessna Aircraft Company and taken to Wichita, Kansas for evaluation. Cessna designed and constructed a single prototype aircraft of similar configuration (equipped with a Continental Motors O-200 engine of 100 hp), with the goal of a possible Cessna 150 replacement. While performance was similar to a C-150, the disadvantages:

*Limited cargo space

*Boom vibrations ("boom bounce")

*Different stall characteristics (compared to C-150)

*Possible reluctance of flight schools to use a training aircraft of unusual configuration

*High projected construction cost

were enough to cause program cancellation. The prototype was scrapped that same year.
