The Piper Warrior is a descendent of the popular Cherokee. The four-place, low wing Warrior is distinguished from the Cherokee by its double-tapered wing planform and two-foot-wider wingspans. Earlier Cherokee wings have the blocky, squarish, constant-chord wing planforms that came to be known as "Hershey Bar" wings. The inboard portion of the Warrior's wing retains that Hershey bar shape, but the leading and trailing edges of the outer panels taper. This gives the Warrior better climb and cruise performance because of lower induced drag.
