The
Ryan YO-51 Dragonfly was an observation aircraft designed and built by
Ryan Aeronautical for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC). A
single-engined parasol wing monoplane, it was designed for optimum STOL
capability, but although three prototypes proved highly successful in
testing, the Stinson YO-49 was judged superior and no production
contract was placed.
