The mounting sales of the Fairchild 22 Model C7A induced the company to produce what was basically an enclosed cabin version of that aircraft. To achieve this, the configuration was changed to that of a braced high-wing monoplane, the resulting cabin seating two side-by-side. Other changes included the introduction of a tailwheel, and the initial Fairchild 24 Model C8 was powered by a 71kW A.C.E. Cirrus (licence-built) Hi-Ace 4-cyclinder inverted inline engine. Most variants were available with optional float or ski landing gear. Certificated during April 1932, the basic Fairchild 24 Model C8 was produced to the extent of only 10 examples, but these modest numbers, like those of the initial Model C7, soon created interest and new orders.
