The cockpit of the Waco F aircraft can accommodate up to two people - one passenger and the pilot of the aircraft, which almost completely made it impossible to use this aircraft in the commercial sector of the civil aviation, although the aircraft was used here until the end of the 40s of the last century. Despite the fact that the aircraft cabin can accommodate a small number of people, a number of modifications of this aircraft are adapted for the transportation of a small amount of cargo on board, and in addition, some of the modifications of this family can be used as a training aircraft.

The base model of this family is equipped with a Kinner B-5 aircraft engine capable of developing 125 hp thrust, which is considered to be an actually acceptable indicator for this type of aircraft, allowing the aircraft to accelerate to a maximum speed of 165 km / h.
