The Wendt WH-1 Traveler is an American two-seat homebuilt sporting aircraft designed by Harold Wendt and built by his company Wendt Aircraft Engineering. [1] [2] Plans for the Traveler were available for amateur construction. [2]
The WH-1 Traveler is a cantilever low-wing monoplane with a conventional wooden fuselage, the wing is a constant-cord two-spar structure with ailerons but no flaps. [2] The prototype aircraft is powered by a 75 hp (56 kW) Continental A-75 air-cooled engine driving a metal two-bladed fixed pitch tractor propeller. [2] The Traveler has a fixed tricycle landing gear with a steerable nose-wheel and glassfibre wheel fairings. [2] The pilot and passenger sit in tandem in an enclosed cockpit with a port-hinged canopy with transparent panels at each side, it also had stowage behind the rear-seat for 50 lb (23 kg) of baggage.
