Interesting facts about the Luscombe 11 Sedan
✈ The Luscombe 11 Sedan first flew in 1946 and represented Luscombe Aircraft Corporation’s move into the four seat family touring market after focusing primarily on two seat light aircraft.
✈ It features a strut braced high wing configuration with fixed tricycle landing gear, which improved ground handling and visibility compared with many earlier tailwheel designs of the era.
✈ The aircraft was powered by a Continental E165 six cylinder air cooled horizontally opposed piston engine rated at 165 horsepower, giving it solid cross country performance for its class.
✈ The cabin accommodates one pilot and three passengers, making it suitable for family travel or small group transport rather than basic ab initio training.
✈ With a gross weight of 2,280 lb and an empty weight of 1,280 lb the aircraft offered a useful load that appealed to private owners needing flexibility for passengers or baggage.
✈ The Luscombe 11 used a NACA 4412 airfoil section, a profile also adopted on several other successful light aircraft designs due to its forgiving stall characteristics.
✈ Its maximum speed of 145 mph and cruise speed of 130 mph positioned it competitively among post war American light aircraft intended for personal and business transport.
✈ Production numbers were limited compared with mass produced contemporaries, which makes surviving Luscombe 11 Sedan aircraft relatively uncommon on today’s market.
Model Variants for buyers to consider when purchasing a Luscombe 11 Sedan
The Luscombe 11 Sedan was produced in a small number of closely related configurations rather than a wide range of distinct sub models. Verified sources recognise the Model 11 as the core production version powered by the 165 horsepower Continental engine, with minor production differences and equipment changes rather than formally designated performance variants. For buyers this means that individual aircraft condition, engine status, avionics upgrades and maintenance history tend to have a greater impact on value and suitability than variant name differences.
