Historical and Technical Information

The Bellanca CH-400 Skyrocket is a distinctive six-seat passenger and utility aircraft, designed and used in the United States during the 1930s. It was a continuation of the successful Bellanca CH-200 and CH-300 lines but introduced numerous improvements, such as a more powerful Pratt & Whitney Wasp radial engine generating 450 hp. These aircraft were used both in civilian and military roles. Three units were purchased by the United States Navy (U.S. Navy), designated as RE: two were intended for research into radio transmission, while the third served as an air ambulance for the U.S. Marine Corps, adapted to transport wounded on stretchers. Luxury versions of the Bellanca CH-400 were also produced for private owners or Dominion authorities, such as those in Newfoundland.
