About the AA-1B

The American Aviation AA-1B is a fixed-wing, type-certificated aircraft built by American Aviation. It is a light, two-seat aircraft powered by a single flat-four engine, intended primarily for flight training and personal travel.

Development began as an unbuilt kit project before the creators pursued full regulatory approval for a factory-completed aircraft incorporating folding wings for storage convenience. Regulatory resistance to the folding wing configuration, costly certification procedures, and disputes between the principal designer and investors caused a major reorganization and a new name for the manufacturing firm.
