Standard SJ
The Standard SJ was an early American Army trainer, introduced in 1916.
Built by the Standard Aircraft Corporation, and intended to work with the Curtiss JN-4, the SJ was an open-cockpit tractor biplane, powered by a 100 hp (75 kW) Hall-Scott inline engine. It was followed by the J-1 (or SJ-1), which were only slightly different.
Like the Standard H-2, H-3, and H-4H, the SJs were hampered by the poor Hall-Scott engines. Despite this, some 800 SJs and SJ-1s were built in all.
Due to the engine troubles, Standard produced the JR', which was very similar to the SJ, but fitted with a 175 hp (130 kW) Wright-Hispano engine; the Army bought only six, as advanced trainers. Additional changes were made, including a new tail, equal-span wings, and a 175 hp (130 kW) Hall-Scott, leading to the JR-1B; the Army bought six, and the Post Office several.
