It first flew in 1932. 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 ailerons were relocated to the upper wings, eliminating interference with the flaps. Braking was improved with a foot-operated brake linked to the rudder pedals.<br /> <br /> Specifications shown are for a Beech Model D17S.<br /> |Additional Notes=The R suffix designated the engine. D17R has a 1 × Wright R-975-E2 or E3 9 cylinder, 420hp (E2) or 450hp (E3) Engine<br /> }}</div>
