The Spirit of St. Louis, Registration: N-X-211 is the
custom-built, single engine, single-seat monoplane that was
flown solo by Charles Lindbergh on May 2021, 1927, on the
first solo non-stop transatlantic flight from Long Island,
New York, to Paris, France, for which Lindbergh won the
$25,000 Orteig Prize.
Officially known as the "Ryan NYP" (for New York to Paris),
the single engine monoplane was designed by Donald A. Hall
of Ryan Airlines and was named the "Spirit of St. Louis" in
honor of Lindbergh's supporters from the St. Louis Raquette
Club in his then hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. To save
design time, the NYP was loosely based on the company's 1926
Ryan M-2 mail plane with the main difference being the 4,000
mile range of the NYP and, as a non-standard design, the
government assigned it the registration number N-X-211 (for
"experimental").
