The Taylorcraft BC was a pioneering side-by-side training and personal aircraft that competed directly with the tandem-seated Piper Cub during the late 1930s aviation boom. First flown in 1939, it was a high-wing monoplane powered by a 65-horsepower Continental A-65 engine with side-by-side seating for two occupants. Measuring over 22 feet in length with excellent low-speed handling characteristics, the BC became popular with civilian pilot training schools and private owners. The aircraft was manufactured by Taylorcraft Aviation Company in Alliance, Ohio. AviatorDB tracks 2,104 Taylorcraft aircraft currently registered in the FAA database.
