The Windecker Eagle may soon get a stable mate as Windecker Aircraft Company has announced its intent to develop a clean-sheet design to follow the historic composite single-engine piston-powered airplane, which was certified in the late 1960s. Only a handful of Eagles were built and Windecker recently restored one to flying condition. That airplane will be brought to China for serial production.
