New Standard D-29

The New Standard D-29 is a trainer aircraft produced in the US from 1929 to 1930.

It was a conventional biplane design with a fuselage constructed from duralumin members riveted and bolted together, and the wings were made with spruce spars and bass-wood and plywood built-up ribs.

Deliberately built to be rugged and simple the D-29 was moderately successful, but had to compete with the Swallow TP.
