A Wright Model B Replica Is on the Market, for the Owner Whose Hangar Has Room for One More

A reproduction of the 1911 Wright Model B has been listed for sale, and Flying has singled it out as a top pick among the aircraft it tracks. The Model B was the first Wright design to be built in series rather than one at a time, which is what makes it worth a second look from anyone who already keeps something newer and faster on the ramp. This example is a replica, built to a standard that the listing's reviewers found exacting enough to flag, not a surviving original. It is the kind of airframe that gets bought for the floor of a hangar rather than for the flight department's schedule, and it will say more about its owner's taste than any fractional share could.

With reporting from Flying.
