Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N17435 is an example of the Aeronca C-3 series, noted by manufacturer designation Aeronca and serial number A-743. This specific aircraft is recorded as owned by UNITED AIRLINES INC, a corporate owner based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and registered in the US civil registry. The available record for this airframe emphasizes corporate ownership and home base location; no other prior ownership or notable registry actions have been provided. Condition and valuation details for this particular airframe are not published in the supplied data.

The cabin configuration for this airframe is a two-seat layout, recorded as 2 seats, consistent with the Aeronca C-3’s tandem/side-by-side light-aircraft arrangements. No specific avionics fit or onboard systems were provided; operations are therefore presumed to follow light fixed‑wing single‑engine profiles suitable for short cross‑country hops within the aircraft’s 174 nm range and modest cruise of 57 kts. The listed corporate owner, UNITED AIRLINES INC, locates the aircraft in Oklahoma City, OK, US, indicating any operational use, maintenance, or basing would be conducted from that area unless otherwise re-deployed. Routine maintenance considerations for this type typically focus on the airframe and the single Aeronca E-113 engine, but detailed maintenance records were not provided.

The Aeronca C-3 occupies the vintage light aircraft niche as a fixed-wing single-engine design, with simple systems and limited payload and range compared with modern general aviation aircraft. With a cruise speed of 57 kts and a ceiling of 12,000 ft, it competes historically with other 1930s-era light monoplanes and fabric-covered trainers rather than contemporary certificated singles. Market interest is typically from collectors, museums, and specialized operators; resale and maintenance considerations often hinge on airframe originality, condition of the Aeronca E-113 engine, and completeness of documentation, none of which were detailed in the supplied dataset.
