Tiger year! This wild animal alredy inspired numerous aerospace players, Northrop Grumman, Airbus, Embraer to name a few.
Tiger Aircraft LLC was an American aircraft manufacturer from 1999 to 2006 based in Martinsburg, West Virginia, United States.
The Grumman Tigers (AA-5B Tiger and AG-5B Tiger) were in the 1970s variants of the Grumman AA-5 line. Another Grumman Tiger has been produced: the Grumman F-11 Tiger a single-seat fighter aircraft (aboard US Navy aircraft carriers in the late 1950s).
The Tiger HAD is Airbus’ multi-role attack helicopter, designed to perform armed reconnaissance, air or ground escort, air-to-air combat, ground fire support, destruction and anti-tank warfare, day or night and in adverse conditions.
In 2018, thanks to its hand painted tiger livery by artist Clodoaldo Quintana, Embraer’s new E190-E2 narrowbody made for one of the most eye-catching sights at the Singapore Airshow.
