Boeing-Stearman

The Stearman Aircraft Corporation was founded initially by Lloyd Stearman in October 1926 in Venice, California. Production was halted due to financial reasons and on 27 September 1927 a new Stearman Aircraft Corporation was founded in Wichita, Kansas, financed by Walter Innes. He sold it to the United Aircraft and Transport Corporation (UATC) in 1929.
In 1934 the Stearman Aircraft Corporation officially ceased to operate as a brand, but about the same time the Stearman plant created its most successful and enduring product, the Model 75 Kaydet. In September 1934, anti-trust legislation forced UATC to separate its airline and aircraft manufacturing operations. At this time, Boeing, which had been part of UATC, became a separate business once again, and Stearman was made a subsidiary of it.
In 2005, Boeing sold the civil portion of the former Stearman operations to Onex, forming Spirit AeroSystems.


Stearman Model 75 Kaydet

The Boeing-Stearman Model 75 Kaydet two-seat biplane is a primary trainer. It evolved from the Stearman Model 6 as a private venture by the Stearman Aircraft Company of Wichita. Model 73, the prototype of the Kaydet flew first on 26 November 1934. The Kaydet became a success: it was ordered by the US Navy and the US Army for use as a trainer. The Navy named the Boeing 75 the NS-1, later evolved into the N2S series. The Army aircraft was the PT-13, later evolved into the PT-17 and PT-18. The Kaydet variants were sold for military and civilian users outside the USA to countries like Canada and China. Boeing built 8584 Model 75 in all versions, plus the equivalent of 2000 more in spares.
