Cet appareil se présentait comme un triplace de tourisme ou de liaison à cabine fermée. En retirant la verrière on pouvait le transformer en biplace d'entraînement ou, en supprimant les sièges, en avion de transport postal. L'unique exemplaire construit [NX4917] s'est écrasé en 1926.

The Aero-Craft Aero-Coupe is an American, 2-passenger, semi-cabin, all-purpose, commercial biplane that was designed by Captain Clement Brown in 1928 and manufactured by Aero-Craft Manufacturing Company. The aircraft was intended for use as an air taxi, as well as for mail and express feeder service.[2] The Aero-Coupe was manufactured by Aero-Craft Manufacturing Company, based in Detroit, Michigan.[3] Aero-Craft Mfg. Co. was founded in 1928, and the Aero-Coupe was the first production model that was released by the company.[4] The Aero-Coupe was a "semi-cabin" aircraft: the three passengers were situated within a closed cabin in the aircraft's fuselage near the nose, while the aircraft's single pilot was positioned in an open cockpit, above and behind the passenger cabin, behind the wings.[5] The aircraft was first introduced to the public in 1928 during the Detroit Aero Show, also known as the All-American Aircraft Show, which occurred from April 14–21. Its price, as mentioned in Volume 20 of Flight International, was $6500, when it was first exhibited to the public.[6] It was powered by a single, seven-cylinder Warner Scarab rotary engine, which provided 120 hp. The aircraft had a range of 740 kilometres, and was capable of flying as fast as 185 km/h. The wings were of unequal span.[4]
