In the late 1930s, the Beechcraft Model 18 design was conventional for the time, including twin radial engines, all-metal semi-monocoque construction with fabric covered control surfaces and "taildragger" undercarriage, while less common were the twin tail fins. The early production aircraft were powered by two 330 hp Jacobs L-6s or 350 hp Wright R-760Es. The Model 18 has used a variety of engines and had a number of airframe modifications to increase gross weight and speed.
