The Beechcraft Model 18 (aka Twin Beech) is a 6 to 11 seat, twin-engine, low-wing, tailwheel light aircraft manufactured by the Beech Aircraft Corporation of Wichita, Kansas. Continuously produced from 1937 to November 1969 (over 32 years, a world record at the time), more than 9,000 were built, making it one of the world's most widely used light aircraft.

The Model 18 was used as a civilian executive, utility, and cargo aircraft. It was also sold as a passenger airliner with tailwheels, nose wheels, skis, or floats. The military versions included 5,200 that were built as cargo (C-45/JRB), photo reconnaissance (F-2/JRB), trainers (AT-7/SNB) and bomb-gunnery trainers (AT-11/SNB). The Pratt & Whitney R-985 engine powered a wide variety and large number of military and commercial aircraft, making it one of the most successful reciprocating engines ever built in Its power class. As of August 2017, there were 240 Twin Beeches in the U.S. still on the FAA Aircraft Registry.
