About the Bellanca Viking
The Bellanca 17 Viking (often called Super Viking) is a high-performance, single-engine, four-seat aircraft known for its distinctive wooden wing construction, which provides a very smooth, low-drag finish and excellent handling qualities. Its powerful 300 hp piston engine, combined with a retractable landing gear (which often utilizes fiberglass bulges to house the wheels), makes it a fast cross-country machine with reported cruise speeds around 172 knots. The Viking’s robust performance and complex systems (constant-speed propeller, retractable gear, high horsepower) make it an attractive and capable option for General Aviation pilots looking for a classic, high-speed travel platform.
