In 1929, the Travel Air Company under Walter Beech’s direction developed the 6000 (ATC 100, 2-28, 2-167, 2-234, 2-296). An improved version of the 5000, it sold for $12,000.
The Travel 6000 six place cabin monoplane was equipped with a Wright J-5 220 hp engine.
The prototype was NX4765 (2-28, superseded by 100).
25 of the 1929 A-6000 were built (ATC 116), priced at $18,000.
ATC 2-76 was for eight 7-place conversions, and ATC 2-308 for a 420hp P&W Wasp C version as A-6000-A Special.
Almost all were eventually converted under (2-167, 2-234 and 2-296) to 300hp Wright J-6 as S-6000B.
The 1929 S-6000B, or B-6000 (ATC 130) were six-place with a 300hp Wright J-6 engine. Priced at $13,000 fifty-five were built, including modifications of model 6000. The model evolved into the 6-B and ATC 2-138 was issued for seven-place conversions. ATC 2-153 was for the five-place 6000-B Special, and ATC 2-294 for four-place conversions, with ATC 2-302 for weight adjustments.
The one Model B-6, built in 1925, was a B-2000 with a 160hp Curtiss C-6 engine, and 31’6″ modified wing, without elephant-ears.
In 1930 eight Model 6-B were built which were the 6000-B with a 330hp Wright J-6 engine.
The 1929 SA-6000A (ATC 175) was a six-place pontoon version of the A-6000, priced at $20,000. At least two were built.
