Lancair 320

The Lancair 320 has proven to be an extremely popular homebuilt aircraft. There are more than 1500 Lancairs sold to people all over the United States and Canada, Europe, Scandinavia, Australia (where the aircraft certification authorities required the tail to be enlarged before allowing them to be licensed), and South Africa. The company that designed and built the Lancair, Lancair International, provided for their customers a network of support which included extensive free technical support, a Lancair Preflight Inspection Program, the First Flight Test Program, and a Flight Training Program.

The first model, Lancair 200, designed by Lance A. Neibauer, was developed in 1984. The prototype can be found in the EAA museum in Oshkosh. His company’s goal was to be an important part in shaping the future of modern aviation through innovation, technical advances in design, aesthetics and performance. Ownership of the company changed hands and is now named Columbia.
