I did a quick search on that very popular search engine using the search term "PA28-181 wheel pants" and found a multitude of images, after-market products and claims of up to 10 knots greater speed! In my experience though, these additional speed claims tend to be a little bit "optimistic" shall we say? We run a whole fleet of Archers with no wheel pants installed. Most of them will top out at 120-125 KTAS. If they had factory wheel pants, I believe we might get as much as 128!
