The Consolidated NY, company Model 2, was a biplane trainer made by the Consolidated Aircraft Corporation and diverted to the United States Navy for a trainer competition in 1925, which it won against 14 other designs. The NY-1 was essentially a PT-1 with a single large float under the fuselage and two stabilising floats under the lower wing tips in place of wheels, with a larger vertical tail. The NY-2 added a longer span wing to cope with the high wing loading of the seaplane and the Navy ordered 181 with a 220 hp Wright Whirlwind J-5 engine, while the NY-3 used a 240 hp Wright R-760-94. The first NY-1 flew in November 1925, deliveries began in May 1926, and the Navy had 108 in active use in 1929. The series was phased out in the mid-1930s, and Brazil used the NY-2 as the D1C.
