The modern Beech company is known for the design and building of a wide range of high-quality single- and twin-engined private-owner and executive aeroplanes and twin-engined commuter airliners, but for many the name Beech and Beechcraft immediately recall the company's first product, the Beech Model 17 or Staggerwing high-performance single-engined biplance with backward, staggered wings. The Model 17 was followed by the twin-engined Model 18, which was produced in numerous civil and military versions, and remained in production longer than any other type of aeroplane.
