Aeronca L

The Aeronca L is an American plane, two-seater monoplane side by side with wing low, and closed cabin appeared in 1935. With a pantalonné train and a Townend ring careening the engine, the apparatus revealed preoccupations with aérodynamisme, but Aeronca never had much success with the planes with low wing.
