About the Baby Ace "D"
Corben BABY ACE "D" is a single-engine, fixed-wing amateur-built homebuilt aircraft featuring a parasol wing monoplane layout with a single seat. It is traditionally configured as a taildragger and is well-suited for recreational sport pilots.
Originally conceived in the early 1930s, the design became a pioneer in the homebuilt market. Following a ban on uncertified aircraft, the rights were acquired to revitalize amateur aviation through published plans and kits. Later modifications introduced a widened fuselage, strengthened structures for float operations, and alternative engine options, securing a lasting legacy in aviation history.
