The Genairco Biplane (also known as Genairco Moth ) was a touring aircraft made by the Australian manufacturer Genairco .
History and construction
The Biplane was a double-decker touring aircraft that was manufactured in small numbers in Australia in the late 1920s and early 1930s. It was designed as a conventional double-decker with a fixed tail wheel landing gear. The wings came from the Avro Avian , while the fuselage on which the de Havilland DH.60 Moth was based was wider, so that two passengers could be carried in an open cockpit in front of the pilot. Some later copies were equipped with a closed cabin for three passengers and were given the designation Genairco Cabin Biplane . The original models were then called the Genairco Open Biplan .
