Original
Manufacturer American Aerolites
No longer in business/No longer in production.
Designed by Romuald Drlik, designer of the
Eagle, the Falcon canards and long list of other inventions. His early propeller
designs claimed canard model speed records and eventually became the Falcon.
A
Falcon UL still claims the altitude record of 26,900'. The first foot-launched
hang glider and the Solaris employ his propeller designs as well.
The Eagles were marketed by Larry Newman under American Aerolites, then as
Falcons under American Aircraft.
I understand about 1500 single seat Falcon UL?s
were made, then the 2 seat Falcon XP followed due to the need for a trainer. 500
were made. |

were made, then the 2 seat Falcon XP followed due to the need for a trainer. 500
were made. A large number were exported to other
countries, mainly S. America. All this happened between 1975 to 1986.
