Fairchild 21

General Aviation and Light Aircraft

The Fairchild 21, first built as the Kreider-Reisner KR-21, was a two-seat American biplane of 1928. The Kreider-Reisner Aircraft Company of Hagerstown, Maryland designed and built it as a wire-braced biplane of mixed construction with two open tandem cockpits, dual controls and a fixed tailwheel undercarriage, powered in the KR-21-A by a 100 hp Kinner K-5 radial piston engine. The KR-21-B added a more powerful Kinner B-5 engine. Fairchild Aircraft took over Kreider-Reisner in 1929 and kept building the type as the Fairchild KR-21 and later the Fairchild 21; one source states that over 200 were built in six models.
