Windecker
Eagle

The
Windecker Eagle was the first type-certificated all-composite aircraft
in the U.S. Built in Midland, TX in the late 1960s, it was a four-place
Bonanza-class aircraft with a Lycoming IO-520, constant-speed prop,
and retractable gear. Mike Huffman was Chief Inspector during the
type certification program.
Because
its composite construction produced a small radar return, one of
the Eagle prototypes was leased to the U.S. Air Force for radar
testing, which was the beginning of stealth technology.
