The Fike Model D was a light aircraft built in the United States in the early 1950s. Designed by airline pilot William Fike it was a conventional high-wing strut-braced monoplane with tailskid undercarriage and seating for one or two people in an enclosed cabin. In appearance the aircraft strongly resembled a Piper Cub with only the tail surfaces sourced from one. An unusual feature was that the flight controls were mounted to the ceiling of the cabin rather than the floor.
