AERONAUTICAL CORPORATION OF AMERICA. Aeronca C-2,1929-1932. Creator: Aeronautical Corporation of America.

AERONAUTICAL CORPORATION OF AMERICA. X626N; 1929 single-seat, light sport monoplane; Aeronca E-107A engine; high-wing, tailwheel design. The Aeronca C-2 was the first truly light airplane certified by the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Aeronautics and produced in substantial numbers in the United States. Safe, economical, and easy to fly, this delightful but unassuming monoplane changed the face of aviation by tapping a new market, that of private aircraft ownership. This Aeronca is the production prototype; it first flew on October 20, 1929. The single-seat Aeronca C-2 and the two-seat C-3 capitalized on the enthusiasm of the post-Lindbergh flight era by offering small and affordable designs to the general public. During the depression, while many larger aircraft proved to be too expensive to operate, the Aeronca C-2 sold for under $1,300 and could be rented for only $4.00 an hour. This Aeronca flew for 10 years with several owners.
