The Piper PA-6 Sky Sedan was a 1940s American four-seat light aircraft designed and built by Piper Aircraft at Lock Haven. Towards the end of 1944 Piper announced a number of aircraft it intended to build after the war. One of these was the PWA-6 Sky Sedan (Post War Airplane 6). A prototype was built in 1945 as a four-seat development of the PT-1 trainer, it was a fabric-covered metal framework four-seat low-wing cantilever monoplane with a conventional tail unit and a retractable tailwheel landing gear. Originally to be powered by a 140hp Franklin engine and by the time it first flew the designation had been changed to PA-6 and it had a 165hp Continental E-165 engine. A second aircraft was built in 1947, it had an all-metal construction and a 205hp Continental E-185 engine and a one-piece windscreen.
