  The Pasped W-1 Skylark is a 1930s American two-seat single-engined cabin monoplane designed and built by the Pasped Aircraft Company of Glendale, California.
  
  ## Design and development
  
  The Skylark is a braced low-wing monoplane with a fixed tailwheel landing gear. It is powered by a 125 hp (93 kW) Warner Scarab radial engine. The enclosed cockpit has side-by-side seating for two. It has a welded steel fuselage and wooden wings. With other two-seat aircraft of the era having a better performance on smaller engines the Skylark did not enter production. The sole example was currently airworthy in February 2010 with an owner in Versailles, Missouri.
