The Bellanca Aircruiser and Airbus were high-wing, single-engine aircraft built by Bellanca Aircraft Corporation of New Castle, Delaware. The aircraft was built as a "workhorse" intended for use as a passenger or cargo aircraft. It was available with wheels, floats or skis. The aircraft was powered by either a Wright Cyclone or Pratt and Whitney Hornet engine. The Airbus and Aircruiser served as both commercial and military transports.
The Bellanca 14-7 Cruisair and its successors were a family of single-engined light aircraft manufactured in the United States from the mid-1930s onwards.
Giuseppe Mario Bellanca was an Italian-American aviation pioneer, airplane designer and builder, who is credited with many design firsts and whose aircraft broke many aviation records.

Szekely aircraft engines were three-cylinder radial engines built in Holland, Michigan in the 1920s and 30s. They were used to power small aircraft such as the Rearwin Junior, Taylor H-2 and American Eagle Eaglet. Often criticized for reliability issues and design flaws, many were replaced with better engines in their original airframes. Few examples still exist but a museum quality example is on display in the Holland Museum in Holland, Michigan.
The Muniz M-7 was a two-seat primary training biplane with tandem open cockpit and powered by a 130 hp (197 kW) de Havilland Gipsy Major engine. Designed by Lieutenant-Colonel Antonio Muniz, a serving officer in the Brazilian Air Force, as a primary trainer. It was the first production aricraft designed in Brazil. The M-7 prototype was built at the Central Aeronautics Park and was first flown in October 1935. Production aircraft were built by Companhia Nacional de Navegação Aérea (CNNA) at Viana Island,. 11 aircraft were flown from 1937-1941 by the Military Aviaton School based in Campo dos Afonsos, with the remaining 17 aircraft being sent to flying clubs.
The Muniz M-9 was a two-seat training biplane with tandem open cockpit and powered by a 200 hp (149 kW) 130 hp (197 kW) de Havilland Gipsy Six engine. Designed by Lieutenant-Colonel Antônio Muniz, a serving officer in the Brazilian Air Force, as an advanced trainer and was a development of his earlier M-7 primary trainer. The flight of the first production aircraft was on 24 December, 1938, and an order for 20 aircraft was placed in 1939. 20 more aircraft were ordered in September 1940, but the de Havilland Gipsy Six engines were unavailable due to World War II. 190 HP Ranger L-440 6-440C-4 engines were substituted, resulting in delayed deliveries. The M-9 was used for training until 1952.
