Only four were built.Table of ContentsDesign and development[edit]Operational history[edit]Specifications[edit]References[edit]Design and development[edit]The M-1 was the first aircraft built by Moreland aircraft, founded in 1928 and based at El Segundo, California. Led by G.E.Moreland and Orrin Moe,[1] the design also contained Ed Heinemann’s first contributions.[2] It was a parasol wing aircraft with wings of rectangular plan apart from rounded tips and a central, trailing edge cut-out to enhance the pilot’s field of view. They had wooden structures with spruce box-spars and ribs, were plywood-covered and braced to the fuselage by pairs of outward-leaning N-form struts between the mid- and lower longerons and the wing spars. These struts were quite short, reaching the wings at about 25% span. A cabane provided central wing support.[3]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The M-1’s nine cylinder Wright J-5 Whirlwind radial engine was nose-mounted, flown with or without a ring type engine cowling. The fuselage of the M-1 had a welded chrome-molybdenum steel tube structure, like many designs of the time, and was fabric-covered. Zips provided easy access to the rear control connections.  Two passengers sat side-by-side close to the wing underside at about mid-chord. They were protected by a large, V-shaped windscreen which projected forward of the leading edge to the engine mounting and rearwards to the hinge of a large access door. The pilot’s well-instrumented cockpit was under the trailing edge cut-out, providing views both above and below the wing.[3]The M-1’s vertical rear control surfaces were rather straight and upright, though the balanced rudder was round-tipped. Its tailplane, mounted on top of the fuselage, was adjustable and wire-braced to the fin.[3]The undercarriage was a split axle design, with the axles hinged from the fuselage central underside. Near-vertical Aerol shock absorber legs were fuselage-mounted at the base of the forward wing struts and drag struts reached rearwards to the lower fuselage.[3]Operational history[edit]The M-1 first flew in 1929, though the exact date is not known,[1] and received its type certificate in September.[4] It featured at the Cleveland Air Show held in the autumn of 1929.[5] Only four were built.[1]Specifications[edit]Data from Aero Digest (September 1929)[3] except where notedGeneral characteristicsCrew: oneCapacity: two passengersLength: 26\u00a0ft 6\u00a0in (8.08\u00a0m)Wingspan: 39\u00a0ft (12\u00a0m)Height: 8\u00a0ft 9\u00a0in (2.67\u00a0m)Wing area: 260\u00a0sq\u00a0ft (24\u00a0m2) including aileronsEmpty weight: 1,750\u00a0lb (794\u00a0kg)Gross weight: 2,750\u00a0lb (1,247\u00a0kg)Fuel capacity: 70\u00a0US\u00a0gal (58\u00a0imp\u00a0gal; 260\u00a0l)Powerplant: 1 \u00d7 Wright J-5 Whirlwind nine cylinder radial, 225\u00a0hp (168\u00a0kW)   at 1,800 rpmPropellers: 2-bladed [1]PerformanceMaximum speed: 132\u00a0mph (212\u00a0km\/h, 115\u00a0kn)Cruise speed: 115\u00a0mph (185\u00a0km\/h, 100\u00a0kn) Landing speed: 40\u00a0mph (64\u00a0km\/h; 35\u00a0kn)Range: 650\u00a0mi (1,050\u00a0km, 560\u00a0nmi)Service ceiling: 17,800\u00a0ft (5,400\u00a0m)\u00a0; absolute ceiling 20,000\u00a0ft (6,100\u00a0m)Rate of climb: 1,000\u00a0ft\/min (5.1\u00a0m\/s) initialReferences[edit]^ a b c d “Aerofiles: Moreland”.
