Famous for their aerodynamic efficiency, Bellancas featured airfoil-shaped wing struts and an airfoil-contoured fuselage. The Skyrocket model, favored by executives and sports-pilots, featured a stronger airframe and a larger engine than earlier Bellancas. Because of their short take-off, steep climb-out and load carrying capabilities, Skyrockets were used in the wilds of Canada and Alaska.
The fuselage is built of welded steel tubing. The wings are made of solid spruce spars with spruce and truss-type wing ribs. The tail-group is a combination of wood and steel tubing, and the horizontal stabilizer is adjustable in flight. The aircraft is covered with fabric.
