The Ryan S-C, called the Sports-Coupe or Sport Cabin, was an American three-seat cabin monoplane designed and built by the Ryan Aeronautical Company as an up-market companion to the S-T trainer. It was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed tailwheel landing gear, and its wing used a patented leading-edge box that carried the main loads in its skin. The prototype first flew in 1937 with a Menasco inline engine, and production aircraft received a 145 hp Warner Super Scarab radial. Because the company was busy building military trainers the S-C was never seriously marketed, so only 11 complete aircraft were delivered, all in 1938, with two more assembled later from parts. At least one was impressed into wartime service as the L-10, and several examples still fly today.
