Le Beechcraft Model 18 est un bimoteur de transport léger américain développé durant l'entre-deux-guerres. Produit en très grande série durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale comme avion de transport mais aussi d'entraînement, il a connu une très longue carrière, les derniers exemplaires sortant d'usine en 1969. Outre des versions spécialisées comme le Beech AT-11 Kansan, le Twin Beech a également fait l'objet de nombreuses remotorisations turbopropulsées.

At the height of the Great Depression, aircraft executive Walter H. Beech and airplane designer Ted A. Wells joined forces to collaborate on a project to produce a large, powerful, and fast cabin biplane built specifically for the business executive. The Beechcraft Model 17, popularly known as the "Staggerwing", was first flown on November 4, 1932. During its heyday, it was used as an executive aircraft, much as the private jet is now, and its primary competition were the Waco Custom Cabin and Waco Standard Cabin series of biplanes.
Another look at the unique "negative stagger" of this beautiful design. The Staggerwing had a wingspan of 32 feet and a length of 26 feet, 10 inches. Powered by a Pratt & Whitney 450 hp engine, the Staggerwing had a max speed of 212 mph, a cruising speed of 202 mph, and a landing speed of just 60 mph. This plane had a fabric-covered fuselage over a welded, steel tube frame and took many man-hours to complete.
