1976 the Canard project launch, an ultralight foot-launchable canard glider. Production of 10 pre-serial machines.
The Canard 2FL is a canard rigid-wing model developed in the late 1970s or early 1980s in Europe by Avifiber
(Dipl. Ing. Hans U. Farner). It had fiberglass construction with 3-axis controls, bomb-bay doors for the pilot's feet,
and good performance. Its planform may have inspired the later ultralight design, the Goldwing.
volgensmij is dit een ETA-glider
eta is the symbol for efficiency (h ). It is also the name of one of the most ambitious large projects in German glider manufacture. The project contains several new ideas and will certainly cause a sensation. In approximately one and a half years from now, the self-start capable two-seater with the tremendous wingspan of 30,84 meters is supposed to fly. The technology bed is being designed by Dr. Reiner Kickert in Braunschweig. The wing molds are made at Hansj?rg Streifeneder?s Glasfaser Flugzeug Service in Grabenstetten. This is also where the six-piece wing will be built. Walter Binder in the Rh?n area will be responsible for the fuselage and final assembly. The German Center for Aerospace (DLR) in Braunschweig developed and windtunnel tested new profiles. Reiner Kickert developed a new wing spar design in order to be able to really accomplish the profiles with the high-aspect ratio wings (51,33!!). As compared to a reference aircraft with a similar fuselage and a known profile, it is expected that the eta aircraft will have a 25-percent performance increase in the best glide flight profile! Still, the performance plus is limited to a small speed window around the best glide speed. At higher speeds, the advantage would be smaller. If everything goes according to schedule, the eta could be presented at the 1999 gliding world championships in Bayreuth. Source: Aerokurier

The Interstate Aircraft TDR assault drone, which was tested at Eagle Mountain Lake.
The Interstate Aircraft TDR assault drone was claimed by the Navy to be the world's first guided missile.
It carried a payload of 2,000 lbs of bombs for 300 miles,
and was used operationally in the Russell Islands in 1944.
