Built by Stoelk for W G Hacker as a prototype for planned production at an estimated $1,800. Height was less than six feet, making it one of the smallest planes at the time built following federal guidelines. POP: 1 [962N] c/n 101, registered as Hacker. Placed in storage due to financial difficulties, eventually dismantled and its parts sold.

Reports of this plane being refitted with a 200hp Clerget diesel are very likely in error, the result of an errant press release about that engine being tested at Villacoublay, France, at the time. Four paragraphs of text found its way onto the end of a news article about Stoelk, and an association of the two was implied. (— K O Eckland 12/11/00)

Scout (Jacksonville) 1932 = 1pOhwM; 80hp LeRhône rotary. POP: 1 major conversion of a Thomas-Morse Scout into a parasol monoplane to test Stroop's arcuate aileron system.

SP-4 (Rome) c.1927 = OB/T; 90hp Curtiss OX-5. Convertible biplane-to-triplane arrangement. An intriguing conceptual machine about which nothing was found except its registration, and FAA had no details. POP: 1 [4197], very likely not completed or did not exist long enough to be recorded.

SP-7 1940 = CM/B. A remarkable airplane, convertible in flight. In cruising flight the machine worked as a conventional monoplane. On take-off and landing the wings were split in two halves, the upper part moving upwards and the lower part downwards to form a sort of "X." Tested in wind tunnel, but probably not built to fly.

YC-123E Provider c.1956 = Fairchild C-123B copy with "Pantobase" tracklike landing gear for operating off snow, ice, and sand, as well as land; two 2300hp P&W R-2800-99W; span: 110'0" length: 75'9" v: 245/205/x range: 1470 ceiling: 29,000'. POP: 1 [55-4031].

YC-134A 1958 = Sealed and strengthened fuselage; "Pantobase" multi-purpose landing gear fitted (?) with land/water skis and wingtip floats. POP: 1 rebuild [52-1627]. Began as Chase C-123B, then was modified by Fairchild as YC-123B with wingtip J44 jets, and later reputedly converted by Stroukoff as YC-134A "Pantobase" with R-3350-89A engines and boundary layer control.

Can anyone confirm this conversion? (— Joe Baugher)

  Stupar First effort (Drina Welch Abel coll)

Biplane 1914 = 1pOswB; Hall-Scott, also Kirkham 4. Stupar's first construction while employed by the Aero Works, this one for Hillery Beachy. Six-wheel undercarriage.

  Sturtevant B-2 (WW1 Aero)

B-2 Pursuit 1916 - 1pOswB; span: 30'7" length: 23'3". POP: 1. Clipped a tree on landing in Mar 1917 and crashed.

P-L Tractor 1915 = 2pOB; 80hp 6-cyl Sturtevant. Unrecorded designation, could be a renamed A-1 Tractor. No indication of what "P-L" meant—"L" for Loening, if its designer?

S-2 Trainer 1916 = Advanced trainer. 2pOB; 130hp Sturtevant 5; span: 49'6" (?>38'0") length: 25'1" v: 50. POP: 2 to USAS [AS110/111] (4 more cancelled but issued s/ns [AS64/67]) and 12 to USN [A76/81, A128/133], most as 2pOBF.

Steel frame, steel sheeting skin; experimental 8'0" x 2'6" twin-gun gondolas were mounted on each lower wing of one of the ships as a "Battleplane." POP: 4 to Air Service [AS126/127, AS214/215]. Contract for 26 was pared after complaints from pilots about crowded cockpit, overheating problems, and general workmanship

School Hydroaeroplane - 1916 2pOBF naval trainer design, unbuilt.

Steel Trainer 1918 = Army advanced trainer. 2pOB, no data. POP: 1 [AS40007], shows on military inventory, but not company records.

POP: 2 known [NR127V, X370M], perhaps more—Sullivan also built about a dozen SG-1 gliders in 1930 for use at Braley School of Aviation. Research by John J Jarratt suggests this is the same Sullivan operating in San Francisco a couple of years later, as follows.

Goblin 1931 = 2pOM; 38hp Continental. [10694] c/n SC-1. Sold and resold many times around the Bay Area and Santa Rosa, acquired a 50hp Indian and a 60hp LeBlond in its travels, so was seemingly quite active until its registration expired in 1940 and was cancelled. Likely similar to the Crested Harpy above, judging by their mythic model names. As Jarratt says, after all that time it surely must appear in someone's photo, if only in the background, but nothing has surfaced yet.

Officers in the Sullivan company were J W Robb and J J Schmidt, who also show up later as principals in the Ful-Vue Fixtures Co Ltd, one of the plane's buyers (6/24/32). Universal Engine & Propeller Co, Berkeley (SF Bay Airdrome, Alameda 1937), acquired it on 1/29/34 and installed their Universal Indian with variable-pitch prop. After several more changes of owners, and the LeBlond in 1937, the reg was cancelled on 4/15/1940 (— John M Jarratt 4/20/04).

  Summit HM-5 [NX25332] (1939 Aviation)

Sunrise 1919 = 4pCBF; two 220hp Hall-Scott L-6 pushers; span: (upper) 100'0" (lower) 71'6" length: 50'6" v: 80. Sundstedt-designed, linen-covered balsawood floats of 32' length, all else was of ash and spruce construction; 750-gallon fuel tanks. One of the largest seaplanes then in existence, the plane was built for an intended transatlantic flight by the two Swedish aeronauts, but it crashed in a test flight in Feb 1919 and was considered beyond economical repair.

Buccaneer 2, 2T 2002 = Production of upgraded Lake Buccaner amphibians (qv).

1926 = 3pOB; 120hp Super LeRhône static; span: 31'6" length: 23'6"; ff: 8/15/26. POP: 1 [1636] c/n 1, sold in 1927 to Henry J Limbright (Dearborn), but reg cancelled 10/16/28 when he failed to reply to CAA inquiry for information.

1929 = 1pOlwM; 110hp Warner Scarab; span: 24'6". Leo Mohme. POP: 2 racers [NR251N, x], sounding suspiciously like Air-istocrat SR-4 except for location. Mohme was a designer that year for US Aircraft, builder of the SR-4.

Information from Kansas City as a list of racing aircraft and race pilots from that area shows no Superior. Bill Ong in his Ride the High Wind does mention an "Aristocrat" built in Kansas City—could he have meant "Air-istrocrat"? (-- John M Jarratt 3/12/02)

    An article in the 5/28/29 Kansas Citizen tells of personnel from Kansas City's National Aircraft Welding School setting up National Aircraft Co and acquiring the services of Mohme, their intention being to build two planes. I suggest they changed name to Superior as there was a National Aircraft in NJ at the time. (— John M Jarratt 5/20/03)

1913 = Twin tractor "hydro-aeroplane." Waldo Waterman is said to have been involved in the building of this ship used by Sutro, grandson of San Francisco's Mayor Adolph H Sutro, for his own pleasure, as well as sightseeing flights. Reportedly used to set several international records, including a speed record of 51 mph in 1913.

1931 = 1pOhwM; rocket engine; ff: 6/4/31. Powered glider used in the first rocket-powered, manned flight in the US; a second flight followed the next day. Swan also carried some mail, so it would also qualify as the first rocket-propelled air mail.

POP: 1 [X271Y] c/n 1; repowered c.1937 with 85hp Continental A-85. Disposition after c.1940 is uncertain, reportedly was stored in a hangar on a field taken over by the military, who consigned it to the scrap pile. Despite many references to a trio of Swanson and Fahlin-designed planes built by Nicholas-Beazley Co, only the SF-1 and SF-2 were built at the N-B plant, and those by Swen Swanson in rented space.

-Fahlin SF-2, Fahlin Plymocoupe 1935 = 2pChwM; 82hp 6-cylinder Plymouth PJ auto engine (not inverted as often thought) with a geared propshaft; span: 32'0" length: 17'9" (?>20'6") load: 536# v: 120/100/40 (>:105/90/40) range: 500 ceiling: 16,000'. Swen Swanson, Ole Fahlin. Became known as Fahlin after Swanson's death from pneumonia in Feb 1935 during construction. POP: 1 [NS65=365] c/n SF-2. Sold in Nov 1935 after it failed to meet DoC contract specifications and, fitted with extra fuel tanks as Sea-Aska, it crash-landed in fog at Juneau AK in Sep 1936 during an attempted non-stop Anchorage-Seattle flight—pilot Russell Owens telegraphed his backers: "Sea-Aska on her asska in Alaska." Destroyed in a 1938 hangar fire in Juneau. Although Plymocoupe is often thought to be an Nicholas-Beazley product, none was ever produced by that company. Fahlin went on to fame and fortune with his propeller business.

  Swanson-Freeman SS-4 [3522] (Aviation via Joe Martin)

-Freeman SF-4 1923 = 2pOB; 80hp LeRhône; span: 28'0" length: 21'7" load: 570# v: 95/x/35; ff: 11/11/23 (p: Ellred Callender). Edgar Freeman, Swen Swanson. I-struts; dual controls.

  There have been two Swearingen companies. The first one, responsible for the Excaliburs, Merlins and Metros, went bankrupt and Fairchild, their prime creditor (they built the Metro's wings for Swearingen) took them over in 1972. Once Fairchild bailed out of aviation, this was sold off, keeping the Fairchild name, later becoming Fairchild Dornier when they bought most of Dornier. Ed started up a new company, which is reponsible for the SX-300, SA-30, SJ-30, and now SJ30-2. This is now Sino-Swearingen, due to an influx of Taiwanese money, thanks to the efforts of Lockheed, which needed offsets for their sale of F-16s to Taiwan. (— David Lednicer 4/6/99)
