The Model 11AC Chief (1867 built) was a development of the Aeronca 7AC
Champion and first flew in 1947. It featured a wider fuselage to
accommodate side by side seating instead of the tandem seats in the
Aeronca 7 Series. The next model was the 11BC Chief(181 built) which had
an 85hp(63kW) Continental. The Super Chief had a larger fin and balanced
elevator surfaces. The Aeronca 11ACS(93 built) was the floatplane
version of the Model 11AC. The Model 11 is still flying in large numbers
particularly in North America. A Model 11AC is illustrated below.
