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.
