The Grumman AA5 Traveler, also known by its later iterations as the Cheetah and Tiger, was a single-engine, four-seat light aircraft designed by Grumman American Aviation. Introduced in 1972, the AA5 was conceived as a versatile aircraft for personal transport, flight training, and light utility tasks. The Traveler's design emphasized practicality and affordability, featuring a robust and forgiving airframe, a straightforward systems layout, and relatively low operating costs. The aircraft was powered by a 200-horsepower Lycoming engine, providing a respectable cruise speed and payload capacity. The Traveler's design was innovative for its time, incorporating a large, T-tail configuration for enhanced stability and control. It also featured a spacious cabin with generous luggage compartment, catering to both personal and business travel.

The AA5 underwent several iterations throughout its production run. In 1978, Grumman introduced the "Cheetah" with a more powerful engine and improved avionics. This version featured a 260-horsepower Lycoming engine, boosting performance and providing a significant increase in climb rate and cruise speed. The final iteration, known as the "Tiger," was introduced in 1985 with further refinements to the engine, propeller, and avionics, creating a more fuel-efficient and user-friendly aircraft. Despite its initial success and enduring reputation for reliability, production of the AA5 ceased in 1985 due to a combination of economic challenges and shifting market demands. The AA5 Traveler, Cheetah, and Tiger remain popular among private pilots and flight training schools as affordable, reliable, and versatile aircraft. They offer a blend of practicality and performance, making them a desirable choice for a range of flying needs.
