The American Aerolights Eagle XL (historically linked to Continental Aerolights) is a classic ultralight vehicle (ULV) featuring
a canard configuration ((with wings positioned at the front and rear). The Eagle has been produced in the United States since 1975
in single-seat form (Eagle) and two-seat form (Double Eagle). Designed by Larry Hair, it was supplied by Larry Hair / Larry Newman
to amateur constructors in kit form and was designed to meet US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicle regulations. In the single-seat Eagle 215B
form it had a standard empty weight of 77 kg and featured a cable-braced, high-wing, canard wing with a single seat, an open cockpit
and a tricycle undercarriage, the engine being installed in the pusher configuration. It was of bolted-together aluminium tube with the flying
surfaces covered in Dacron sailcloth.
The ICAO Aircraft Type Designator for the American Aerolights Eagle XL is not assigned as unique,
specific alphanumeric manufacturer-assigned code. Instead, because it is classified as a micro/ultra-light aircraft, ICAO designates it as ULAC |
