Frequently Asked Questions — Stearman
What is the Stearman biplane?
The Stearman (Boeing) Model 75 is the iconic WWII primary trainer — over 10,000 built, making it the most-produced biplane in history. Known as the PT-17 (Army) and N2S (Navy), it trained virtually every American military pilot of the era. The 220 HP Continental R-670 radial engine and rugged airframe make it the quintessential open-cockpit biplane experience. Hundreds remain airworthy, many upgraded with 300-450 HP engines.
How much does a Stearman cost to buy and operate?
Flyable Stearmans range from $75,000 (projects) to $250,000+ (fully restored). Radial engine overhauls and parts drive maintenance costs — budget $15,000-25,000/year for a flying example. Fuel burn is 15-20 GPH on the stock R-670, more on upgraded Pratt & Whitney R-985 engines. Insurance for tailwheel biplanes is not cheap. Despite the costs, the Stearman community is one of the most active and supportive in aviation.
