Solar MS-1 __NOTOC__
The Solar MS-1 was a prototype airliner built in the United States in 1930. It was a sesquiplane design, its wings braced to each other with warren truss-style struts. The stubby lower wings carried the divided main units of the fixed undercarriage. The fuselage was of rectangular cross-section and featured a fully enclosed flight deck and passenger cabin. The tail was of conventional design with strut-braced stabilizers and carrying a fixed tailwheel. Construction was of metal throughout,〔"MS-1" at ''aerofiles''〕 and the aircraft was powered by a single radial engine in the nose. The MS-1, registered ''X258V'', flew for the first time on 21 January 1930 with Doug Kelly at the controls.〔 Kelly described it as "one of the finest closed planes I have ever flown",〔 and Charles Lindbergh also praised the MS-2 when he flew it a few days later.〔 Despite this, airlines did not order the type, although Northwest Airways considered buying ten examples.〔 Solar made the prototype available for charter types for a while, but in 1931 sold it to an operator in Mexico who used it to transport coffee beans.〔 On the Mexican register as ''XB-AFK'', the MS-1 was destroyed in a crash in 1936.〔
