Everything about Stearman totally explained
Stearman Aircraft Corporation was an
aircraft manufacturer established by
Lloyd Stearman at
Wichita, Kansas in
1927. Two years later, he sold it to the
United Aircraft and Transport Corporation. In
2005, Boeing sold the civil portion of the former Stearman operations to
Onex, forming
Spirit AeroSystems, though they've retained the military operations.
In September
1934, United was forced to separate its
airline and aircraft manufacturing operations. At this time,
Boeing became a separate business once again, and Stearman was made a subsidiary of it. Stearman officially ceased to operate as a brand at this point, but it was at this same time that the Stearman plant had created its most successful and enduring product, the
Model 75 "Kaydet" that would become the main primary
trainer aircraft for the US military during
World War II. Although the Stearman company designed a range of other aircraft, the Model 75s have come to be known simply as "Stearmans" or "Boeing Stearmans".
A national Stearman fly-in is held every year around
Labor Day in
Galesburg, IL.
