Arrow Sport / Sport Pursuit / Sport K

Arrow A-2-160 Sport

In late 1920s three models of two-seat sport or training biplane (the Arrow Sport and Arrow Sport Pursuit) were being made with steel-tube airframe and wooden wings. The wings were fully cantilever, but have interplane struts to comply with FAA regulations.

Designed by Swen Swanson in 1926, the two-seater had a side-by-side cockpit and no interplane struts. The wing was attached directly to the top of the fuselage, but cosmetic struts were later added to allay the concern of pilots.

The 1928 model offered 60hp Detroit Air Cat and Anzani engines.

About 100 of the Arrow A-2-160 Sport were built, powered by a 60 hp Le Blond engine. The original price was $3485.

Arrow Sport N220K

The only 1929 Sport Pursuit (ATC 2-110) built, N853H, was priced at $3,485 and renamed Sport K in 1935.
