The Bellanca CH-200 Pacemaker was a six-place single-engine light transport that first flew in 1928.  Continuous improvement and more powerful engines resulted in several model numbers.

The Bellanca Skyrocket was a refined Pacemaker with a more powerful, 425 hp (317 kW) Pratt & Whitney Wasp and first flew in 1930.  Like the Pacemaker, the Skyrocket was continuously improved and fitted with more powerful engines resulting in several model numbers.
