In the Works: Windecker Eagle
The four-seat Windecker Eagle will be flying in the experimental exhibition category.


The oldest and first-certified fiberglass airplane is taking to the sky again, but this time the four-seat Windecker Eagle will be flying in the experimental exhibition category. Originally FAA certified in 1969, the Eagle never went into volume production, but it preceded more recent composite designs by decades. The current owner of the type certificate, Austin, Texas-based AC7 (owned by Chinese entrepreneur Wei Hang), is restoring the Eagle, and it should fly in late summer or early fall.
