	Beech 35 Bonanza "Waikiki Beach"
		Beech Aircraft Corporation sponsored both of these record-breaking flights to demonstrate the efficiency and dependability of its airplane.
		In 1951 the plane was returned to Beech Aircraft to be refurbished and lent to Congressman Peter F. Mack, Jr., for a worldwide goodwill flight.
		The Bonanza is regarded as a classic aircraft design of the post-World War II era and is easily identified by its distinctive V-tail.

	TSGC \| Spacecraft Design Archive
		Beech apparently was aware that the structural margin on the tail was inadequate, because the purpose of the modifications was to increase the strength of the tail.
		Beech offered to retrofit, free of charge, the very early models with a strengthened wing, but this proved to be almost as expensive to Beech as producing a new airplane, and the company stopped actively encouraging owners to receive the retrofit.
		Beech's ultimate counter to the charges that their aircraft was unsafe was that it was a high performance aircraft.

	Beech Aircraft Corporation
		Bonanza, one of most recognizable personal aircraft of all time, culminating with the Model 2000 Starship, a vision of the future, the Beech Aircraft name is synonymous with well-designed and durable aircraft.
		Beech manufactured 1,771 Wichitas from 1941 to 1943, and more than 50 percent of Army Air Force pilots were trained in AT-10s to transition from single- to multi-engine aircraft.
		Beech's $350-million development effort resulted in a high-performance, stall-free aircraft that accommodated eight passengers (plus two pilots), designed to be competitive in speed with small business jets.

		Beech was inactive in business for two years until 1932, when the couple moved back to Wichita to open Beech Aircraft Company.
		Beech once again assumed control of Beech Aircraft, as she was elected president and chairman of the board in December, at the age of 47.
		Beech's able guidance, Beech Aircraft continued its growth, and through her wise policies of deliberate, planned expansion and diversification was able to again become a guiding force in the commercial aircraft industry.

	Walter H. Beech
		Beech was familiar with every aspect of the aircraft industry from the drawing board--to the test field--to the boardroom.
		Beech spent three years barnstorming over the central states before settling in Wichita and accepting a job with the Swallow Airplane Corporation.
		A testimony to the high standards of the aircraft that Beech created is that many well-kept B17L biplanes are still flying in the clear blue sky.

		Other important Beech planes are the King Air line of twin-engine turboprops, in production since 1964, the Baron, a twin-engine variant of the Bonanza and the Beech 18, originally a business transport and commuter airliner in the 1950's and 1960's, which remains in active service as a cargo transport.
		In 1950, Olive Ann Beech was installed as president and CEO of the company, after the sudden death of her husband Walter from a heart attack on November 29th of that year.
		She continued as CEO until Beech was purchased by Raytheon Company on February 8, 1980.

		Another variant of the Beech Model B-18 purchased by the Army Air Forces was the F-2 photographic reconnaissance aircraft.
		(Beech Aircraft Corporation continued to produce various versions of its popular Model 18 until 1969.) In 1951 the continuing value of the C-45 as a light utility transport led the United States Air Force to engage Beech Aircraft Corporation in a large remanufacturing project for 900 of the aircraft.
		This C-45H, S/N 52-10862, was remanufactured by Beech Aircraft Corporation in Wichita, Kansas and delivered to the United States Air Force on 27 August 1954.

	T-34 Mentor / T-34C Turbo Mentor
		Beech felt that there was a market for a military trainer based on the Model 35 Bonanza which had been flying for about a year.
		Aircraft modification efforts are "turnkey" projects (procurement and installation) implemented as part of competitively awarded maintenance contracts.
		When they were re-certified as civilian aircraft, the FAA mandated several changes to the T-34B, including a stall strip on the right wing, addition of a stall warning system, removal of the nose gear doors, replacing the tail fillet that had been removed from the 'A' models, and generally reducing the performance restrictions.

		Beech Aircraft had to master a new technology, build a new manufacturing facility and train a workforce.
		Beech had to work hand-in-hand with the FAA to develop the standards for the construction of composite aircraft, because none existed.
		Beech's merger with Raytheon caused a temporary hiatus in development activity, but by 1982 work was underway again.

	Beech Model 17 Staggerwing
		Walter H. Beech and airplane designer T.A. “Ted” Wells joined forces to collaborate on a project many considered foolhardy—a large, powerful, and fast biplane built specifically for the business executive.
		The Beech Model 17, popularly known as the “Staggerwing” (the name comes from the top wing being set, or staggered, behind the bottom wing) was first flown on November 4, 1932, setting the standard for private passenger airplanes for many years to come.
		Beech, meanwhile, embarked upon a major redesign of the aircraft, to be known officially as the Model D17 Staggerwing.

	Beech C17L Staggerwing
		The use of retractable gear, which was not common at the time, as well as parallel improvements in streamlining and weight reduction, gave the aircraft a maximum speed of 175 mph and a landing speed of 45 mph.
		The Beech Company advertised the performance and economy of the new series and emphasized the pilot's visibility from the aircraft and the airplane's gentle stall characteristics, both the result of the staggered wing arrangement.
		The aircraft was equipped with numerous extras, including expensive instrumentation, electrical bonding, rear seat parachutes, a magneto-equipped engine, and a custom paint scheme, using the colors and logo of Standard Oil.

		Beech engineering personnel contended it was understood pickups would be made at 130 mph, but they later found (as did CAA engineers) some pickups may have been made at speeds as high as 200-plus mph.
		AppK.7 Beech designed a bracket to weld on to the socket as a temporary fix and began tests of a new forging with long legs, which would spread the load over a wider area.
		Aircraft, to which the first and third ADs applied, could have the Beech shock absorbing oleo drag leg installed, in place of the standard solid-type rear drag leg, and that would exempt them from the recurring X-ray or magnetic particle inspections.

	Walter and Olive Beech
		The company's first objective was to build a five-place biplane having the interior luxury of a fine sedan--with a top speed of 200 miles per hour, a landing speed no higher than 60 miles per hour, a non-stop range of 1,000 miles, easy controllability and sound aerodynamic characteristics.
		All of these specifications were seen as unattainable by the "experts." On November 4, 1932, Model 17R made its initial test flight and the impossible standards set by Beech were met.
		Together they left a legacy not measured in dollars, but in the commitment of their former employees to build aircraft to meet high standards for reliability.

		The Beech design was already known as the Beech Model 28 and had been given the name "Destroyer".
		In addition to this, the engines for the Grizzly were the same as those used in the B-29, and the few engines that were not slated for that bomber were usually given to the new Douglas BT2D-1 and Martin Mauler aircraft programs.

		For a big chunk of the Beech 18's, and their military counterparts, were grounded until they could comply with the spar strap requirements.
		As the aircraft is in the ground loop, the weight of the aircraft and its momentum is placed on the side of the tire and wheel.
		The bottom line is that all Beech 18's are required to have an x-ray to be certain that the spar is okay to begin with and they have to have a strap installed.
