Bellanca 31-40

General Aviation and Light Aircraft

The Bellanca 31-40 Senior Pacemaker and its derivatives, including the Senior Skyrocket, were a family of six- and eight-seat utility aircraft built in the United States in the late 1930s. They were the last revision of the Wright-Bellanca WB-2 design of the late 1920s, and like their predecessors were high-wing braced monoplanes with conventional tailwheel undercarriage. Bellanca numbered them from the wing area and engine power, each divided by ten, so 31-40 means about 310 square feet and 400 horsepower. The US Navy bought a single Senior Skyrocket in 1938 as the JE-1 utility transport, and Northwest Industries built the type under licence in Canada after the Second World War. Two examples were still extant in 2007.
