The Aeronca L cabin monoplane was the Aeronautical Corporation of America’s first attempt at constructing a low-wing side-by-side cabin airplane. It was produced in four versions: the LA with a 70-hp Le Blond, the LB using an 85-hp LeBlond, the LC using a 90-hp Warner Scarab Junior, and the LD powered by a 90-hp Lambert. The airframe of the Model I is of conventional mixed construction. The wings were built around a structure of spruce spars and ribs. The fuselage was a framework of welded steel tubing. Both the fuselage and the wings were covered with fabric.
