The Globe BTC-1 was a 1940s American eight-seat light transport aircraft built by the Globe Aircraft Corporation.

Development

The former Bennett Aircraft Corporation changed its name to the Globe Aircraft Company in 1941 and the first design was an eight-seat aircraft the BTC-1. The BTC-1 was a cantilver mid-wing monoplane with a conventional tail unit and retractable landing gear. It was powered by two wing-mounted Jacobs L-6 engines. Behind the two-crew flightdeck was a passenger cabin for six passengers. Although basically a wooden structure it made use of a bakelite-bonded plywood with the trade name "Duraloid". The Duraloid was used to form monocoque fuselage and tail surfaces. Emerging during the war no orders were placed for the aircraft and no production aircraft were built.
