The Wittman Tailwind is an historic aircraft design and it first flew back in 1953, a few weeks before the birth of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). It demonstrated exceptional flight efficiency, incorporating a number of aerodynamic design features which Steve Wittman had gleaned from his extensive air racing experience. Prospective homebuilders at that time were both incredulous and inspired by the Tailwind. It was the stuff of which dreams were made and can be credited with helping the fledgling EAA to grow. Jack Cox's excellent history of the Tailwind was published in the September 1993 issue of Sport Aviation.1
Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co. in California acquired the rights to the Tailwind in January 1996 and is currently the exclusive distributor for plans and kits.
