The Tiger was designed by Grumman engineers and was first produced in late 1974 as the 1975 model.The Tiger was the outcome of the same redesign work on the AA-5 Traveler that resulted in the 150 hp Cheetah and it was originally little more than the same aircraft with a Lycoming O-360-A4K 180 hp engine, resulting in a 139 knot cruise speed. Gross weight was increased from the AA-5/AA-5A's 2200 lb to 2400 lb on the Tiger. Externally the Tiger looked much like the AA-5 Traveler and AA-5A Cheetah so once again Grumman’s marketing department came up with a distinctive decal package to differentiate the design – this time a "galloping tiger".While the earlier AA-1s and AA-5s did not change much from year to year the AA-5B Tiger underwent almost continual improvement. As with the AA-5A, the AA-5B was continued in production by Gulfstream when they purchased Grumman's American division. Gulfstream ceased production of all piston-engined aircraft in 1979 and the highly successful Tiger design went out of production after 1323 aircraft had been delivered.For eleven years the design was not produced and then in the late 1980s a new company was formed to produce the Tiger. American General Aviation Corporation carried out further design improvements including introducing a new split nose bowl that could be removed without removing the propeller, a new instrument panel and improved exterior lighting, a new fuel indication system, a 28 volt electrical system replacing the older 14 volt system, a new style throttle quadrant and improvements to the heat and ventilation systems. Aerodynamic improvements raised the optimal altitude cruise speed from 139 knots true airspeed to 143 knots TAS. The redesigned aircraft was put into production under an amended type certificate as the American General AG-5B Tiger. The new company had considered producing AA-1s and AA-5A Cheetahs, but those plans were never fulfilled before it closed its doors in 1993. American General only produced Tigers for model years 1990-93 and delivered just 181 aircraft in that time.The design has a strong following amongst pilots and aircraft owners and so in 1999 a new company was formed to put the Tiger back into production. Tiger Aircraft LLC started production of the AG-5B Tiger in 2001 at their plant in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Tiger Aircraft has not shown any intention to produce any other models of the AA-1 or AA-5 family, although they own the type certificates for the complete line of aircraft. By the middle of 2006 Tiger Aircraft was experiencing financial problems and production of AG-5Bs had been halted and production workers laid off.
