About the AA-1

The Grumman American Avn AA-1 is a fixed-wing, type-certificated aircraft manufactured by Grumman American Avn. It is configured as a light, two-seat monoplane driven by a single flat-four engine, suited for everyday flight training and personal use.

Tracing its origins to an amateur-built kit concept, the design was later altered to meet strict certification standards as a complete factory-built product equipped with folding wings. Financial hurdles, regulatory concerns over the folding wings, and friction among the original creators led to leadership changes and the establishment of American Aviation.

This page covers the Grumman American Aviation AA-1, AA-1 Lynx, AA-1 T-Cat, AA-1A, AA-1B, AA-1C, AMERICAN AA-1, Grumman American AA-1: the same aircraft under other designations.
