Ryan Brougham aircraft began to develop in the year 1924, in this case, the main purpose of construction of the aircraft was a need to allow operation of aircraft transported on board his small group of people, in particular, we are talking about the use of aircraft in the field of passenger transport.

Thanks to the coordinated work of the engineers and designers of the company «Ryan» plane in 1927 year made its first flight, which was officially named the successful, in connection with which the aircraft was sent to the serial production, which enjoyed very great popularity with customers, as evidenced and corresponding to a large release of aircraft data - with 1927 1930 year for American aircraft manufacturers have been built 212 copies of the model aircraft (including prototype and modified versions).

Depending on its modification, the Ryan B linkedin model can be equipped with a Wright J-5 piston engine with a power of 225 hp, or other piston power plants of both lower and higher power, which in turn allowed saving on the purchase of air vessel, but somewhat reduced its flight characteristics. The maximum flight speed of this aircraft is about 205 km / h, which is quite acceptable even by modern standards.
