The Aeronca Model 9 Arrow was a low-wing all-metal cabin monoplane with retractable landing gear, marketed to returning pilots from World War II and unveiled in 1947 but never put into production. It was Aeronca's first and only aircraft with retractable landing gear, powered by a 90 horsepower Franklin four-cylinder engine and equipped with a generator and starter. The single prototype, registered NX39581, was destroyed in a crash during a test flight when its propeller failed.
