Loening Aeronautical Engineering
- Loening Aeronautical Engineering
Loening Aeronautical Engineering Corporation was founded 1917 by Grover Loening and produced early aircraft and amphibious aircraft from 1917. When it merged with Keystone Aircraft Corporation in 1928, some of its engineers left to form Grumman. Loening formed a new enterprise, Grover Loening Aircraft Company, in 1929, which eventually closed in 1933.
History
*1917: Loening Aeronautical Engineering Co, 31 St at East River, New York NY.
*1928: Merged with Keystone Aircraft Corporation as Loening Aeronautical Div.
*1929: Grover Loening Aircraft Co, Garden City NY.
*1933: Ended operations.
Aircraft Models
*Grover Loening (around 1911 - 1913)
**The world's first monoplane flying boat.
*Loening M-8 - 1918
(Later models appear under Keystone Aircraft Corporation)
Many Loening flying boats were similar in appearance to the later Grumman Duck, featuring a single large float under the fuselage. Leroy Grumman had been General Manager at Loening Aeronautical Engineering Company, and after Grumman and two Loening Co. colleagues struck out on their own following Loening's merger with Keystone, Grumman's new company's initial business strategy was the repair of Loening aircraft for the U.S. Navy. Grumman soon began marketing aircraft of its own, based largely on concepts developed at Loening.
