Industrials

Bellanca Aircraft Corporation, known before 1983 as the Bellanca Aircraft Company and in its later form as AviaBellanca Aircraft Corporation, is an American aircraft design and manufacturing company. It was founded in 1927 by the Italian-born designer Giuseppe Mario Bellanca, whose earlier work had included partnerships in which aircraft carrying the Bellanca name were produced, among them the Wright-Bellanca venture with Wright Aeronautical. The company is associated with efficient, low-operating-cost monoplanes of the 1920s and 1930s, among them the Wright-Bellanca WB-2 Columbia, the Pacemaker and Skyrocket cabin monoplanes and, later, the Cruisair light aircraft of 1939 and the postwar Cruisemaster and Viking lines. Giuseppe Bellanca led the corporation until he sold it in 1954, after which the Bellanca line passed through a succession of owning companies that kept the original aircraft lineage alive. In 2021 the business was reformed as Bellanca Aircraft, Inc, based in San Luis Obispo, California, with a maintenance facility in Oklahoma, supplying maintenance and parts for the legacy Cruisemaster and Viking aircraft.
