- Luscombe Phantom
The Luscombe Phantom was a 1930s American two-seat cabin monoplane the first product of the Luscombe Aircraft Engineering Company.
Design and development
Donald A. Luscombe formed the Luscombe Aircraft Engineering Company in 1933 at Kansas City, Missouri. The Phantom or Model 1 was the first aircraft built by the company and first flew in 1934. An high-wing braced monoplane with conventional fixed tail-wheel landing gear and was powered by a nose-mounted 145hp (108kW)
Warner Super Scarab radial engine. Apart from the fabric wing surfaces the aircraft was all-metal and had a luxury interior with two side-by-side seats in an enclosed cabin. As luxury aircraft it failed to sell in the economical climate of 1930s America and the company went on to develop cheaper and simpler aircraft.pecifications
