About the AA-1A

The American Aviation AA-1A is a fixed-wing, type-certificated aircraft built by American Aviation. This light model offers seating for two occupants and is powered by a single flat-four engine, serving as part of a well-known family of personal training and touring machines.

Initial design work was carried out as a kit-built project before shifting toward a fully certified production model featuring folding wings for storage convenience. Regulatory reluctance toward folding wing designs, coupled with expensive certification requirements and internal business disputes among stakeholders, prompted management changes and a renaming of the manufacturing entity.
