Navion Aircraft Insurance

There are many different variations of Navion aircraft. Some of these include Ryan Navion A and B, Navion G Rangemaster, and Navion H Rangemaster. The Navion aircraft was first designed and built in the 1940’s by North American Aviation. North American Aviation built around 1,000 Navion aircraft in 1946 and 1947. It’s hard to believe but these aircraft were originally sold at about $4,000 per aircraft. The Navion aircraft was originally designed for the expected post-war increase in private aviation. The Navion is usually configured as a single engine, retractable gear, unpressurized aircraft.

In 1947, Ryan Aeronautical Company purchased the design and quickly started production in 1948 at their factory in San Diego, California. Ryan Aeronautical Company built over 1,200 aircraft, including 163 aircraft for the United States armed forces. Ryan Aeronautical Company ended production of the Ryan Navion in 1951. 

Owners of Navion aircraft argue that it is the most comfortable retractable gear single engine aircraft ever manufactured. These aircraft are durable, safe, and not very fast, so they are in most cases considered easily insurable. The Navion is a great aircraft for an individual just getting into the aviation world since it is easy to fly, is unpressurized, and considered stable in flight.
