About the AA-1C

The American Aviation AA-1C is a fixed-wing, type-certificated aircraft constructed by American Aviation. It belongs to a lineage of light, single-engine aircraft featuring a two-seat cabin layout tailored for personal aviation and flight instruction.

The aircraft traces its roots back to an early homebuilt project that was subsequently redirected toward full factory certification with folding wings for easy ground transport and storage. Administrative hesitation regarding the wing design, heavy certification expenses, and internal corporate disagreements resulted in a management shakeup and a change in the company name.
