Summary
| Description |
English: In late 1938, the Air Corps evaluated the Beech Model D17S for possible use as a light liaison aircraft. Three aircraft were purchased and designated as YC-43s.
The distinctive five-place biplane featured negatively staggered wings - the lower wing was forward of the upper wing. The plane also had retractable landing gear and a minimum of drag-producing wing supports which combined to give the YC-43 a cruising speed of about 200 miles per hour. After a short flight test program, the YC-43s were sent to Europe to serve as liaison aircraft with the US Air Attachés in London, Paris and Rome. S/N 39-139 while assigned to the American Embassy in London, England. |
