Development


The Carbon Cub SS was originally named the "CubCrafters Super Sport Cub".[3] In order to maintain certification under American Light Sport Aircraft limitations the maximum takeoff power is limited to five minutes.


Design


The Carbon Cub SS uses a carbon fiber spinner and air-induction scoop. The Carbon Cub weighs 300 pounds (140 kg) less than a Piper PA-18 Super Cub.[4] The carbon cowling weighs six pounds (2.7 kg).[5] The fuselage is welded SAE 4130 chrome-molybdenum steel tubing with fabric covering. The wings are fitted with vortex generators for low-speed flight control. Some models use a partial color on silver base coat paint job that weighs 11 pounds (5.0 kg) less than an all-color paint job.

The CC340 engine, based on the Lycoming O-320, is developed with Engine Components International, Inc. (ECi),[6] using dual electronic ignition and ECi O-320 cylinders.[5] The engine is rated at 5 US gallons (19 litres) per hour fuel consumption at an 80 horsepower (60 kW) cruise setting.[citation needed]
