The Faucett F-19 was a 1940s Peruvian eight-seat high-wing transport monoplane built by the airline Faucett Perú for its own use.
5-652: To meet its own requirement for an eight-seat transport the airline's engineering department designed and built the Faucett F-19. The design was based on the Stinson SM-1 Detroiter with improvements to meet the airline's specific operating requirements. The F-19 was a high-wing braced monoplane with a fixed tailwheel landing gear or floats. The cabin sat two crew and six passengers. Some aircraft were used for cargo work with no main cabin windows. 36 examples were built between 1934 and 1946. The aircraft
10-448: The nose-mounted 220 hp (164 kW) Wright J-5 Whirlwind engine. It made its first flight on Jan 25th, 1926. The Harley Davidson brakes were demonstrated on a snowy maiden flight requiring wheel chains to be added to prevent skidding. This aircraft was soon developed into the six-seat Stinson SM-1D Detroiter , a braced high-wing monoplane version which ultimately made quite a number of significant long-range flights. The aircraft
15-838: Was a six-seat cabin airliner for passengers or freight designed and built by the Stinson Aircraft Syndicate , later the Stinson Aircraft Corporation . Two distinct designs used the Detroiter name, a biplane and a monoplane. The first design from the Detroit-based Stinson Aircraft Syndicate was the Stinson SB-1 Detroiter , a four-seat cabin biplane with novel features such as cabin heating, individual wheel brakes and electric starter for
20-499: Was powered by an 875 hp (652 kW) Pratt & Whitney Wasp radial engine but the seaplane version use a 600 hp (447 kW) Pratt & Whitney Wasp radial engine. Most of the aircraft were built and used by the airline but a number were supplied to the Peruvian Government.

25-603: Was soon a success and it enabled Stinson to get $ 150,000 in public capital to incorporate the Stinson Aircraft Corporation on 4 May 1926. Seventy-five of the Wright J-5-powered versions were built, followed by 30 Wright J-6-powered aircraft. From 1928, SM-1 aircraft were used on scheduled services by Paul Braniff's Braniff Air Lines and by Northwest Airways . In 1930 a SM-1FS with a crew of three reached Bermuda from New York City ,
