Difference between aircrafts
Hi Guys. Would someone be able to tell me what the difference is between a Piper Warrior and a Piper Archer? I know that the Arrow has a V-pitch prop propeller and a retractable undercarrage, but what's the difference between the Warrior and the Archer??? Many Thanks.

For the PA-28-xxx series of aircraft the xxx indicates HP I believe. The original was the PA-28-141 Cherokee, then the -151 and -161. Don't think there was ever a -171. Piper's best offering back in the late 60s was a PA-28-181 Cherokee. The modern day Archer is simply a descendent of that. It's basically a faster Warrior thats all.
The Archer has between 100-200 more BHP than a standard Warrior. Typically achieves a 10KTS faster cruise TAS probably aided by wheel fairings that the Warrior doesn't have.
