About the 17-31

The Bellanca 17-31 is an American fixed-wing aircraft powered by a single piston engine and configured with four seats inside an enclosed cabin. As a type-certificated high-performance transport, it suits pilots requiring rapid cross-country travel capabilities paired with retractable landing gear.

Tracing its ancestry back to classic designs by Giuseppe Bellanca, the aircraft evolved through various iterations involving different companies, notably transitioning from triple tail configurations to a large single vertical fin. The airframe combines a fabric-covered tubular steel fuselage with spruce wooden wings, and production later moved under the stewardship of dedicated enthusiasts providing ongoing technical support.

{# the label links to these aircraft for sale, built in that span. On the label and not the count: the bands count every aircraft on the market (on_market) while the grid shows only those with a photo (live), so the count is not a promise of how many cards appear. A band cached before year_min existed renders as plain text rather than a link to an unfiltered list. #}
