The Freedom Aviation Phoenix is a single-engine four-seat American airplane currently (2008) being sold as a homebuilt composite canard aircraft.

The kit is produced at a facility on St. Lucie County International Airport at Ft. Pierce, Florida.

Design and development

The Phoenix airframe is formed of carbon-fiber composite materials on factory molds. The aircraft is assembled as a homebuilt, with a factory-sponsored builder-assist program available.

The aircraft has a swept, dihedral canard mounted ahead of the cabin, and a swept main lifting surface. Each wing has a fin (with full-length rudder) mounted about midway to the tip. In addition, the wingtips have swept winglets, which provide additional yaw stability while decreasing induced drag.

The Phoenix is powered by a six-cylinder horizontally-opposed piston engine driving a IAS

Stall speed: 70 kt (130 kph)

Cabin width: 50 inch (1.27 m)

Cabin height: 44 inch (1.12 m)

Cabin length: 129 inch (3.28 m)

Engine: Continental IO-550 six-cylinder horizontally-opposed air-cooled piston engine

Engine power: 310 hp (231 kW)
