The Wright-Bellanca WB-1 was designed by Giuseppe Mario Bellanca for the Wright Aeronautical corporation for use in record-breaking flights.

[2] The WB-1 was a high-winged monoplane with conventional landing gear and all-wood construction.

The landing gear fairings were constructed to extend into wheel pants.

On day two, the WB-1 won, in a payload versus hp and speed efficiency contest, beating a Curtiss Oriole and Sikorsky S-31.

In 1926, pilot Fred Becker crashed the overloaded aircraft in a world-record endurance attempt.
