Fine Art Prints from Space Images
Fairchild FC-2W2
The first aircraft purchased by the NACA was this Fairchild FC-2W2. Marked as " NACA 26, " this aircraft was the first to be flown in a NACA paint scheme. The colors applied to this Fairchild were blue fuselage, silver wings and tail. The wing had a yellow stripe down the middle, from tip to tip. A red, white and blue shield was added to the rudder. It was used by NACA in an effort to correlate wind tunnel and flight aerodynamic characteristics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Fairchild FC-2W2, a significant aircraft in the annals of aviation. Known as "NACA 26" this remarkable plane holds the distinction of being the first ever purchased by NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics). The image beautifully captures its unique NACA paint scheme, which was a groundbreaking development at that time. The fuselage of this Fairchild is adorned with an elegant shade of blue, while its wings and tail gleam in silver. Notably, a striking yellow stripe runs down the middle of its wings from tip to tip, adding a vibrant touch to its overall appearance. To further accentuate its patriotic spirit, a rudder embellished with red, white, and blue shield completes this magnificent aircraft's design. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies an important purpose: serving as an instrumental tool for NACA's efforts to correlate wind tunnel and flight aerodynamic characteristics. This particular model played a crucial role in advancing our understanding of flight dynamics during that era. As we gaze upon this extraordinary photograph print capturing the essence of early aviation history at Langley Research Center - home to NACA - we are reminded not only of how far we have come but also how pivotal moments like these paved the way for modern aerospace advancements.
