The Stinson 108 was a popular general aviation aircraft produced by the American airplane company Consolidated Vultee, from immediately after World War II to 1950, when the company was bought by Piper Aircraft. Production continued for a few years under Piper. The fuselage was of fabric-covered steel tube. Aftermarket modifiers have obtained supplemental type certificates (STC) allowing conversion to an aluminum covering. Many different engines have been installed in the 108 by STC such as the Lycoming O-360, Franklin 220220, and Continental O-470O-470.
One distinctive feature was the partial leading edge slot installed on the wings and aligned with the ailerons on the trailing edge, ensuring that the portion of the wing containing the aileron remains unstalled at higher angles of attack, thus contributing to docile stall behavior.
