The Rearwin Junior was a sport aircraft produced in the United States in the early 1930s.[1][2] It was a conventional, parasol-wing monoplane with two seats in tandem in an open cockpit and fixed, tailskid undercarriage.[2] An optional enclosed canopy was available.[3] The wings were of wooden construction while the fuselage and empennage were built from welded steel tube, with the whole aircraft skinned in fabric.[3]

Although designed to meet the lowest possible sale price, the onset of the Great Depression severely limited the size of the market for sport aircraft, and only a small number were built.[2]
