Piper PA-24 Comanche for Sale — Piper's First High-Performance Single

The Piper PA-24 Comanche is the aircraft that transformed Piper Aircraft's reputation from a manufacturer of economical fabric-covered designs into a builder of serious high-performance singles — the low-wing, all-metal, retractable-gear design that proved Piper could compete with Beechcraft's Bonanza on performance while offering better value. The Comanche's clean aerodynamics, efficient Lycoming IO-360 or IO-540 engine, and honest handling characteristics created a loyal following among owner-operators who wanted Bonanza-class performance without Bonanza-class acquisition costs. Produced from 1958 to 1972, the Comanche family remains beloved by pilots who appreciate its combination of performance, economy, and the feel of a genuinely aerodynamically refined design.
