OW.1 Aerial Coupe

The Dayton-Wright OW.1 Aerial Coupe was an American four-seat touring aircraft built by the Dayton-Wright Company of Dayton, Ohio. Because it was the last aircraft designed by Orville Wright, the design was given the designation OW.1. The aircraft was based on a heavily modified De Havilland DH.4. Although only one was produced, the Dayton-Wright OW.1 marks the first working example of a civilian single-engine four passenger light cabin aircraft in the US. The interior was designed for greater comfort compared to contemporaries, and was meant to be more like an automobile interior. It had a side-opening door with two rows of two seats, and a greater focus on luxury. It set an altitude record of 19,710 ft (6,010 m) on 22 May 1921. In 1924 it was crashed in an air race, which marked the last time it flew and it was sold for parts. It turned out to be the last aircraft designed in part by one the of the Wright Brothers.
