Manufacturer
American Aerolites - no longer in business, no longer in production.

The American Areolights Eagle XL is a single place tricycle gear ultralight aircraft with a sweptback wing, with a pusher prop, with a canard.

The Eagle XL uses bolt together aluminum tube construction, with the double surfaced wing covered in dacron sailcloth. The Eagle XL took approximately 75 hours to build from kit.

The Eagle XL uses wire bracing with three axis control via wing tip rudders, spoilerons, and a canard. It has a right hand stick, left hand throttle, with the stick controlling the elevator and spoilers, and the rudder pedals operating the wing tip rudders.

Power was originally supplied by the 430 Cayuna, with later models using the 377 Rotax. Suspension was via the main axle tube flexing, and steering on the ground was via a steerable nose wheel.
