Golden Age Simulations Aeronca LC

The Aeronca L was a 1930s American cabin monoplane designed and built in small numbers by Aeronca Aircraft. It differed significantly from other Aeronca planes in its use of radial engines, streamlining, and a cantilever low wing.

Quite unlike other Aeronca designs, the Model L was a 'cantilever' (no external struts for bracing) low-wing monoplane, that featured side-by-side seating in a completely enclosed cabin. The design reflected the greater attention being paid to aerodynamics in the period, including large wheel spats for the fixed undercarriage and a Townend ring for the engine. The aircraft was of mixed construction with a welded steel fuselage and wings with spruce spars and ribs, all covered with fabric.

Initial attempts to use Aeronca's own engines proved inadequate and the company turned to small radial engines from other suppliers, particularly neighbouring Cincinnati engine manufacturer LeBlond as the model LB. In the attempt to improve performance, they would fit the next series with the 90 HP Warner Scarab 5-cylinder radial engine.

Our representation of this iconic aircraft is fully animated with tooltips active in the VC cockpit for all animated parts.
