No to Zane-got to have an engine. Please reread the question.
But congrats and a big yes to Timothy on his second submission. The Windecker AC-7 Eagle 1 was the first all composite (FRP) powered aircraft certificated by our FAA. Timothy is fully correct on engine also. The Beechcraft 2000 Starship came later with Burt Rutan's 85% scale proof-of-concept demo flying first in 1983.
The Windecker Eagle 4-seat retractable gear aircraft was developed by Drs. L.J and F. M. Windecker between 1959 and 1960. First flight 1969. That aircraft crashed. Second prototype with reduced structural weight flew nine months later also in 1969, and was certificated by the FAA within three months. Production to the Type Certificate commenced 1970. Seven were built by Windecker.
In 1979, G.P. Dietrick formed Composite Aircraft Corp. to resume production of the Windecker AC-7 Eagle. Apparently, two more were built.
Wingspan: 32'0"
Length: 28'6"
Gross weight: 3,400 lbs.
Max cruise: 204 mph
Max range: 1,232 miles (with FAA reserve).
Interestingly, in the same time frame beginning development in 1962, the only other all composite (plastic) (as the French claim) powered aircraft flying was the Wassmer WA-51 Pacific, a French 4-seat low wing aircraft with fixed tri-gear. Not quite in same category because the WA-51 had a center fuselage light alloy structure with FRP skins. Picky. picky, picky! The WA-51 Pacific had a Lycoming O-320-E2A of 150 Hp. The WA-50 prototype of the WA-51 first flew in 1966.
Thank you for your submissions-the next quiz will be similar and of interest.
