Taking into account the period of the beginning of the serial production of aircraft of this model, the aircraft turned out to be very promising, however, the operation of the aircraft was carried out only on the territory of the United States of America.

aircraft design Bellanca Aircruiser has specific aerodynamic, which in turn provides a high rate of aircraft maneuverability and very simple operation, so that only one crew member is required to control the aircraft.

In addition to the civil aviation Bellanca Aircruiser aircraft used actively and US armed forces, where the main aim of its operation is the transportation of small groups of troops and cargo transportation.
