[[File:Beechcraft-F17D-Staggerwing.jpg|thumb|right|An F17D Model Staggerwing]]

The '''Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing''' is an American [[biplane]] with an atypical negative wing [[Stagger (aviation)|stagger]] (the lower wing is farther forward than the upper wing). It first flew in 1932.

==Development==
In 1932, [[Walter Herschel Beech|Walter H. Beech]], formerly head of the aircraft manufacturer [[Travel Air]], left [[Curtiss-Wright]], which had purchased Travel Air in 1929, to set up a new company, [[Beechcraft|Beech Aircraft Corporation]], based in [[Wichita, Kansas]]. Beech took the airplane designer [[Ted A. Wells]] from Curtiss-Wright, and the first project of the new company was the Model 17, a fast [[biplane]] with an enclosed cabin designed to meet the needs of business executives. It was based on a design drafted by Wells while at Curtiss-Wright, but rejected by the Curtiss-Wright board.<ref>((harvnb|Pelletier|1995|pp=13–14, 53))</ref><ref name="berp89">((harvnb|Berry|1990|pp=8–9))</ref> The [[Beechcraft]] Model 17, popularly known as the "Staggerwing", was first flown on November 4, 1932. During its heyday, it was used as an executive aircraft, much as the [[Business jet|private jet]] is now, and its primary competition were the [[Waco Custom Cabin series|Waco Custom Cabin]] and [[Waco Standard Cabin series|Waco Standard Cabin]] series of biplanes.

The Model 17's unusual negative stagger [[wing]] configuration (the upper wing staggered behind the lower) and unique shape maximized pilot visibility and was intended to reduce [[Parasitic drag|interference drag]] between the wings (although it was later found to have negligible effect).<ref name="Sport Aviation">((cite journal|journal=Sport Aviation|date=January 1961|title=The Beechcraft Biplanes))</ref> The fabric-covered [[fuselage]] was [[Aircraft fairing|faired]] with wood [[former]]s and [[longeron|stringers]] over a welded, steel tube frame.<ref name="Sport Aviation"/> Construction was complex and took many man-hours to complete. The Staggerwing's retractable [[conventional landing gear]], uncommon at that time, combined with careful streamlining, light weight, and a powerful [[radial engine]], helped it perform well.

In the mid-1930s, Beech undertook a major redesign of the aircraft, to create the '''Model D17 Staggerwing'''. The D17 featured a lengthened [[fuselage]] that improved the aircraft's handling characteristics by increasing control leverage, and the [[aileron]]s were relocated to the upper wings, eliminating interference with the [[flap (aircraft)|flaps]]. [[Braking]] was improved with a foot-operated brake linked to the [[rudder]] pedals.

Between April 1936 through May 1940 there were six Model 17 fatal accidents involving midair breakups that were attributed to weather conditions and structural failures, later determined to be caused by [[Aeroelasticity#Flutter|flutter]] of the ailerons and wings. The [[Civil Aeronautics Administration (United States)|CAA]] Bureau of Safety Regulation initially issued an edict to restrict maximum airspeed and [[instrument flight]], which was later replaced by a safety bulletin requiring lead balance weights to be added to the ailerons and flaps, and plywood panels to the outboard portion of the wings to increase torsional stiffness of the wing tip section.<ref>((cite web|url=https://generalaviationnews.com/2019/05/22/the-savior-of-the-staggerwing-fleet/|title=The savior of the Staggerwing fleet|publisher=General Aviation News|date=May 22, 2019|first=Sparky|last=Barnes))</ref>

==Operational history==
Sales began slowly. The first Staggerwings' high price tag (between [[United States dollar|US$]]14,000 and $17,000, depending on engine size) scared off potential buyers in an already depressed civil aircraft market. Only 18 Model 17s were sold during 1933, the first year of production, but sales steadily increased. Each Staggerwing was custom-built by hand. The luxurious cabin, trimmed in [[leather]] and [[mohair]], held up to five passengers. Eventually, the Staggerwing captured a substantial share of the passenger aircraft market. By the start of World War II, Beechcraft had sold more than 424 Model 17s.

===Air racing===
[[File:Beech Aircraft Corporation ad Model 17 "Staggerwing" 1937.jpg|thumb|left|1937 advertisement for the Model 17 Beech Staggerwing]]The Staggerwing's speed made it popular with 1930s air racers. An early version of the Model 17 won the 1933 [[Texaco]] Trophy Race. In 1935, a British [[diplomat]], Capt. H.L. Farquhar, successfully flew [[circumnavigation|around the world]] in a Model B17R, traveling 21,332 miles (34,331 kilometers) from [[New York City|New York]] to [[London]], by way of [[Siberia]], [[Southeast Asia]], the [[Middle East]], [[North Africa]] and back across [[Europe]].

[[Louise Thaden]] and [[Blanche Noyes]] won the 1936 [[Bendix trophy]] in a Model C17R Staggerwing. Thaden also won the [[Harmon Trophy]] for her achievement. [[Jacqueline Cochran|Jackie Cochran]] set a women's speed record of ((convert|203.9|mph|km/h|0|abbr=on)), established an altitude record of over 30,000 feet (9,144 m), and finished third in the 1937 Bendix Trophy Race, all in a special Model D17W Staggerwing. The aircraft made an impressive showing in the 1938 Bendix race, as well.

In 1970, due to a dispute with the T-6 racing class, the Reno National Air Races invited five Staggerwings to perform a demonstration race. Two G models and two D17 models raced. The five pilots were Bryant Morris, Bert Jensen, Don Clark, Noel Gourselle, and Phil Livingston, the only pilot to have prior racing experience in the T-6 class. The race was flawless, with ''ABC Wide World of Sports'' coverage, but protesting T-6 racers prevented the class from future competition with allegations of safety issues.

===World War II===
As World War II loomed, a number of Model B17Ls were pressed into service as [[bombers]] by the [[Spanish Republican Air Force]], the air forces of the [[Second Spanish Republic]] during the [[Spanish Civil War]]. [[China]] ordered a number of Staggerwings to use as [[air ambulance]]s in its fight against [[Imperial Japan]]. [[Finland]] had one C17L as a liaison aircraft between 1940 and 1945.<ref name="Albatrossista Pilatukseen"/> On October 2, 1941, Beech shipped a special [[camouflage]]d D17S to [[Prince Bernhard of Lippe]], who was in exile in [[London]] after the [[Nazi Germany|German]] invasion of the [[Netherlands]]. He used it for refugee work in and around London. <!-- photo in the Library of Congress, but no digital version yet :/ -->

[[File:Beech YC-43.JPG|thumb|right|YC-43 Traveler]]

The '''Beech UC-43 Traveler''' was a slightly modified version of the Staggerwing. In late 1938, the [[United States Army Air Corps]] purchased three Model D17Ss to evaluate them for use as light [[liaison aircraft]]. These were designated '''YC-43''' (''Y'' designating a development aircraft or non-standard type, ''C'' standing for ''Cargo''). After a short [[flight test]] program, the YC-43s went to [[Europe]] to serve as liaison aircraft with the [[air attaché]]s in [[London]], [[Paris]], and [[Rome]].

Early in World War II, the need for a compact executive-type transport or courier aircraft became apparent, and in 1942, the [[United States Army Air Forces]] ordered the first of 270 Model 17s for service within the [[United States]] and overseas as the '''UC-43''' (USAAF designation for ''Utility'', ''Cargo''). These differed only in minor details from the commercial model. To meet urgent wartime needs, the government also purchased or [[leased]] (impressed) additional "Staggerwings" from private owners, including 118 more for the Army Air Force plus others for the [[United States Navy]]. In Navy service, the airplanes were designated as '''GB-1''' and '''GB-2''' (under USN designating convention signifying ''General'' (purpose), ''Beech'', ''1st'' or ''2nd'' variant of type). The [[United Kingdom|British]] [[Royal Air Force]] and [[Royal Navy]] acquired 106 "Traveller Mk. I" (the British name uses the UK double "l" spelling) through the [[Lend-Lease]] arrangement to fill its own critical need for [[cargo aircraft|light personnel transports]].

The production UC-43 differed in minor details from the service test YC-43. Two distinguishing external features of the UC-43 are the circular [[automatic direction finder]] [[antenna (radio)|antennae]] mounted between the main landing gear and [[landing lights]] near the lower wingtips. They were all powered by the 450 [[horsepower]] (336 [[kilowatt]]) [[Pratt & Whitney R-985]] engine.

===Postwar===
After the war's end, Beech immediately converted its manufacturing capabilities back to [[civil aircraft]] production, making one final version of the Staggerwing, the Model G17S. They built 16 aircraft, which they sold for US$29,000 apiece. [[Norway]] sold one D17S to [[Finland]] in 1949, which the [[Finnish Air Force]] used from 1950 to 1958.<ref name="Albatrossista Pilatukseen"/>

The lightweight [[V-tail]] [[Beechcraft Bonanza]], a powerful four-passenger luxury aircraft, soon replaced the venerable Staggerwing in the Beech product line, at about a third of the price. The Bonanza was a smaller aircraft with less horsepower, but carried four people at a similar speed to the Staggerwing. Beechcraft sold the 785th and final Staggerwing in 1948 and delivered it in 1949.

===Critical praise===
In March 2003, ''Plane & Pilot'' magazine named the Staggerwing one of its Top Ten All-Time Favorite aircraft.<ref name="p&p">((cite web|url=http://www.planeandpilotmag.com/content/2003/mar/top10_favorites.html |date=March 2003 |access-date=August 7, 2006 |publisher=Warner Publishing Corporation |title=Top 10 All-Time Favorites |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061018021707/http://www.planeandpilotmag.com/content/2003/mar/top10_favorites.html |archive-date=October 18, 2006 |df=dmy ))</ref>

In the April 2007 issue of ''[[AOPA]] Pilot'' magazine, it was reported that the Staggerwing was voted by nearly 3000 AOPA members as the Most Beautiful Airplane. "Members said it's the perfect balance between 'muscular strength and delicate grace,' and rated it highly for its 'classic lines and symmetry.'"

The November 2012 issue of ''Aviation History'' magazine ranked the Staggerwing fifth in their top 12 list of the Worlds Most Beautiful Airplanes. Stating that "Some might think 'the Stag' ungainly, backward wings and all, yet it has become the prime example of vintage beauty" and "...the aftward upper wing led to the big, steeply raked windscreen that is also a key element of what some have called an art deco classic."<ref>((cite journal|last=Wilkinson|first=Stephan|title=Aviation History Magazine; "The Worlds Most Beautiful Airplanes"| journal=Aviation History |year=2012|publisher=Weider History Group|location=Leesburg, VA|issn=1076-8858|pages=22–29|url=http://www.historynet.com/magazines/aviation_history|access-date=September 24, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120918024952/http://www.historynet.com/magazines/aviation_history|archive-date=September 18, 2012|url-status=dead))</ref>
