Champion Freedom Falcon

The Champion Freedom Falcon is an American mid-wing, T-tailed, pusher configuration, single-seat motor glider that was designed and constructed by Ken Champion, first flying in 1982.

Design and development

The Freedom Falcon was constructed with a wooden frame, covered with plywood and doped aircraft fabric covering. It mounts a OMC Golden Phantom Wankel engine behind the cockpit, with the variable-pitch propeller above the tail boom. The span wing employs a Göttingen 549 airfoil and mounts spoilers for glidepath control.
Only one example was completed and it was registered with the US Federal Aviation Administration in the Experimental - amateur-built category. FAA records indicate that the aircraft's registration expired on 30 June 2011 and was not renewed, so it is unknown whether the aircraft still exists.
