Aircraft Model Overview (Reference only)

The Bellanca Super Viking 17-30A is a distinctive high-performance single-engine aircraft known for its combination of speed, craftsmanship, and classic styling. Produced during the 1970s, the Super Viking represented the pinnacle of Bellanca’s piston single lineup, blending modern performance with traditional construction techniques uncommon in later general aviation aircraft. The 17-30A is powered by a Lycoming IO-540 engine producing 300 horsepower, giving the aircraft strong climb capability and cruise speeds in the ~165–175 knot range. Its retractable landing gear and clean aerodynamic profile allow it to compete with other premium piston singles of the era, including the Bonanza and Mooney lines. One of the defining characteristics of the Super Viking is its unique construction. Unlike most all-metal aircraft of the period, the Bellanca combines a steel-tube fuselage structure with fabric covering and wooden wings, resulting in a lightweight yet strong airframe. This contributes to its smooth handling and impressive performance, while also giving it a distinctive appearance and feel. The cabin typically seats four occupants and offers a comfortable, upscale interior for cross-country travel. The aircraft’s responsive controls and efficient aerodynamics make it highly regarded among pilots who appreciate hands-on flying and refined handling characteristics. Within the aviation community, the Super Viking is often viewed as a “pilot’s airplane”—fast, elegant, and rewarding to fly. However, ownership also requires attention to proper maintenance of the wood and fabric components, making knowledgeable upkeep especially important. The 1978 Bellanca Super Viking 17-30A remains one of the most respected and unique piston singles in general aviation. Its combination of performance, craftsmanship, and classic character continues to attract pilots seeking something beyond conventional all-metal aircraft.
