The Beech Aircraft Corporation, now the Beechcraft Division of Raytheon, is a manufacturer of general aviation and military aircraft, ranging from light single engine aircraft to business jets and light military transports. Beech airplanes, called Beechcrafts by the company and their many fans, have a long-standing reputation as being among the best made aircraft available. They are also invariable among the most expensive planes in their class.
Beechcraft was founded in 1932 by Walter H. Beech and his wife Olive Ann. The Beeches began operations in an idle Cessna factory. With designer Ted Wells, they developed their first aircraft, the classic Beech Staggerwing model 17, which flew for the first time in November 1932. Over 750 Staggerwings were built, with 270 manufactured for the U.S. Army during World War II.
