Beech E17l
Manufacturer: BEECH
The Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing is an American biplane that first flew on November 4, 1932. It features a negative wing stagger—its lower wing is positioned forward of the upper wing—giving it a distinctive look and improved pilot visibility. The aircraft was built for executive transport, air racing, and later wartime liaison duties, with 785 units produced before production ended in 1949.
