The Stinson Reliant was a single-engine four- to five-seat high-wing monoplane that was manufactured by the Stinson Aircraft Company from 1933 to 1941. It was powered by a variety of radial engines, such as the Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior that produced 450 hp.
The Reliant had different models, ranging from SR-1 to SR-10, with different configurations and features. The SR-10 was the final commercial model and it was introduced in 1938. It had a distinctive gull-wing design with a tapered wing that had the widest chord and thickness at mid-span.
The Reliant was used by the US Army Air Forces, the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force during World War II for various roles, such as transport, liaison, training and target towing. After the war, some of the military versions were sold on the civilian market as the Vultee V-77. The Reliant was a popular aircraft with private operators and small charter companies because of its reliability, performance and versatility.
