Meet Spartan 7W Executive
Spartan built the 7W Executive during the late 1930s and early 1940s for the private and business market. Its enclosed cabin, all-metal fuselage and retractable undercarriage distinguished it from more basic light aircraft of the period. The surviving-aircraft photographs provide historical context for the simulator implementation.
