In Aviation We Tend To Remember Things That Came First, But An Airplane Named The Windecker Eagle Has Been Forgotten Until Now
Designed by Dr. Leo Windecker and his wife, Dr. Fairfax Windecker, both were Dentists, it started off as an attempt in the early 1960s to develop stealth technology and ended up taking a place in history. The Windecker Company started the trend towards composite construction that we know today. The original company based in Midland, Texas faded into history, but their airplane will fly again, and is headed towards production.
