Falcon, American Aerolites Falcon single seat ultralight aircraft.
– 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.
