CURTISS JN-4D JENNY
Model Airways Curtiss Jn - 4d Jenny Scale 1:16 America's most famous biplane! The Curtiss Jenny combines the best features of the Curtiss J and N models.
The 1915 JN-3 was modified and renamed JN-4 in 1916.
With the entry of the United States into World War I, the Signal Corps commanded large amounts of JN-4.
By the time production ceased after the armistice, more than 6,000 had been delivered, the majority of them JN-4D.
Powered by a water-cooled Curtiss OX-5 inline V8 engine and flown by a two-person crew, the Jenny was flying at 75 mph.
She had an endurance of 2.5 hours and climbed to 2,000 feet in 10 minutes.
The aircraft had a wingspan of 43 feet 7 inches and weighed 1,430 pounds.
The Jenny was most often used for basic flight training.
Many were equipped with machine guns and bomb racks for advanced training.
After the war hundreds were sold in the civilian market and the aircraft became the mainstay of the 1920s Barnstormer.
Some were still flying in the 1930s.
The restored Jenny aircraft can be seen in many museums, including the Garber Preservation Facility at the Smithsonian Institution in Suitland, Maryland.
