Aircraft Information

  name American Eaglet
  type Ultralight sailplane
  manufacturer AmEagle
  designer Larry Haig
  first Flight 1975



The AmEagle American Eaglet was a highly unorthodox ultralight sailplane marketed in the U.S. for homebuilding. It was a one-seat, high-wing braced monoplane that carried an inverted V-tail on a long boom extending from a pod-like fuselage. Intended for self-launching, it was equipped with a McCulloch go-kart engine and a folding propeller behind the cabin. Its first flight was on 19 November 1975 , and by 1978, at least 250 sets of plans had been sold, with 12 aircraft reportedly completed.
