About the AG-5B
The Tiger Aircraft AG-5B is a fixed-wing, single-engine light aircraft equipped with four seats under an overhead sliding canopy. Built for touring and training roles, it suits pilots desiring responsive handling characteristics and features a bonded aluminum wing coupled with a honeycomb fuselage.
Tracing its lineage back to earlier two-seat light aircraft from the same manufacturer, the design was created by enlarging cabin and external dimensions to reduce production costs and development time while maintaining significant parts commonality. The landing gear includes fiberglass main legs and a free-castering nosewheel steered via differential braking.
