Widely known as the '''Stearman''', '''Boeing Stearman''', or '''Kaydet''', it served as a primary trainer for the [[United States Army Air Forces]], the [[United States Navy]] (as the NS and N2S), and with the [[Royal Canadian Air Force]] as the Kaydet throughout [[World War II]]. After the conflict was over, thousands of surplus aircraft were sold on the civilian market. In the immediate postwar years, they became popular as [[Aerial application|crop dusters]] and sports planes, and for [[aerobatics|aerobatic]] and [[wing walking]] use in [[air show]]s.

Zipp, and J. Jack Clark took a 1931 [[Lloyd Stearman]] design, and added [[cantilever]] landing gear and adjustable [[Elevator (aeronautics)|elevator]] [[trim tab]]s, to produce the Model 70. Able to withstand +12g and -9g, the aircraft was powered by a 210-hp [[Lycoming R-680]], first flew on 1 January 1934, before flight tests were conducted at [[Wright Field]], [[Naval Air Station Anacostia]], and Pensacola. The Navy then requested a similar model built to Navy specifications, including a 200-hp Wright J-5 engine. The resultant Model 73, was designated NS-1 by the Navy, of which 41 were ordered, including enough spares to build another 20 aircraft.<ref name="ep">{{cite book |last1=Phillips |first1=Edward |title=Stearman Aircraft: A Detailed History |date=2006 |publisher=specialtypress |location=North Branch, MN |isbn=9781580070874 |pages=118–126}}</ref>
In the summer of 1934, Stearman engineers refined the Model 73 into the Model X75. The Army Air Corps evaluated the plane that autumn, powered by a 225-hp Wright R-760 or a 225-hp Lycoming R-680. In July 1935, the Army Air Corps ordered 26 with the Lycoming engine, designated the PT-13A, while the navy ordered an additional 20. In August 1936, the Army ordered an additional 50 PT-13As, followed by another 30 in October, and another 28 in December. Simultaneously, the company received orders for its primary trainer from the Argentinian navy, the [[Philippine Army Air Corps]], and the Brazilian Air Force. In January 1937, the army ordered another 26 PT-13As.<ref name=ep/>
On 6 June 1941, the U.S. government issued Approved [[Type Certificate]] No. 743 for the civilian version of the Model 75. Designated the Model A75L3 (PT-13) and Model A75N1 (PT-17), about 60 were sold to civilian flights schools such as [[Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology]], and for export.<ref name=ep/>{{rp|148}}
On 15 March 1941, the company delivered the 1000th trainer to the Army, and the 1001st trainer to the Navy. Then on 27 August 1941, the company delivered the 2000th trainer to the Army. On 27 July 1944, the company delivered its 10,000th primary trainer.<ref name=ep/>{{rp|145–148,168}}
The Kaydet was a conventional biplane of rugged construction, with a large, fixed tailwheel undercarriage, and accommodation for the student and instructor in open [[cockpit]]s in tandem. The radial engine was usually not cowled, although some Stearman operators choose to cowl the engine, most notably the [https://aerobaticteams.net/en/teams/i137/Red-Baron-Squadron.ht Red Baron Stearman Squadron].
==Operational history== ===Post-war usage=== After World War II, thousands of surplus PT-17s were auctioned off to civilians and former military pilots. Many were modified for crop-dusting use, with a hopper for pesticide or fertilizer fitted in place of the front cockpit. Additional equipment included pumps, spray bars, and nozzles mounted below the lower wings. A popular approved modification to increase the maximum takeoff weight and climb performance involved fitting a larger [[Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior]] engine and a [[constant-speed propeller]].
