ANSTEAD, Judge.

This is an appeal from a judgment in a products liability action based upon a jury verdict which found Piper liable for compensatory and punitive damages. Piper contends that the award of punitive damages should be stricken because such award was inconsistent with a finding by the jury for Piper on an alternative claim that Piper had been negligent in its design of the aircraft, the crash of which resulted in the deaths of several persons.
