Aircraft Model Overview (Reference only)

The Piper PA-28-235 Cherokee is a powerful and highly versatile member of Piper’s PA-28 Cherokee family, developed to provide significantly greater payload and performance capability than the standard Cherokee models. Introduced in the 1960s, the PA-28-235 quickly became known as one of the most capable fixed-gear utility and traveling aircraft in its class. Powering the 1967 Cherokee 235 is the robust Lycoming O-540 engine, producing 235 horsepower. This substantial increase in power compared to smaller Cherokee variants gives the aircraft strong climb performance, impressive useful load capability, and cruise speeds typically in the ~130–140 knot range. The aircraft is particularly valued for its ability to carry passengers, baggage, and fuel while maintaining respectable performance. The PA-28-235 features Piper’s classic low-wing design with fixed tricycle landing gear, combining straightforward operation with durable construction. The 1967 model retains the original Hershey bar wing, which is known for stable low-speed handling and predictable flight characteristics. These qualities helped make the aircraft popular among both private owners and utility operators. The cabin seats four occupants comfortably, though the aircraft’s high useful load allows it to carry significantly more baggage and fuel than many comparable aircraft. This made the Cherokee 235 especially attractive for family travel, business use, and operations requiring heavier payloads without stepping into a retractable-gear aircraft. Within the aviation community, the PA-28-235 is often regarded as a “workhorse Cherokee”—valued for its combination of simplicity, reliability, and hauling capability. While not as fast as retractable-gear performance singles, it offers lower maintenance complexity and excellent real-world practicality. The 1967 Piper PA-28-235 Cherokee remains a respected aircraft today. Its blend of power, payload, and dependable handling continues to make it a popular choice for pilots seeking a capable and versatile fixed-gear airplane.
