Aircraft Technologies Aircraft Technologies Company type - Privately held company Industry - Aerospace Founded - 1990s Fate - Out of business Headquarters - Lilburn, Georgia, United States Key people - Fred Meyers Products - Kit aircraft Aircraft Technologies, Inc. was an American aircraft manufacturer based in Lilburn, Georgia. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of aerobatic aircraft in the form of kits for amateur construction. The company is out of business and its products are no longer available. The company's kits used fiberglass, carbon fiber and 4130 steel tubing construction. Both the Aircraft Technologies Atlantis and the Acro 1 were engineered for +15/-15 g. Aircraft Summary of aircraft built by Aircraft Technologies, Inc. Model name - First flight - Number built - Type Aircraft Technologies Atlantis - 1990s - at least three - Two-seat aerobatic monoplane Aircraft Technologies Acro 1 - 1990s - at least three - Single-seat aerobatic monoplane Aircraft Technologies Atlantis Aircraft Technologies Acro 1 Acro 1 Role - Homebuilt aircraft National origin - United States Manufacturer - Aircraft Technologies Designer - Fred Meyer First flight - 1993 Status - Production completed Number built - At least three (2013) The Aircraft Technologies Acro 1 is an American aerobatic homebuilt aircraft that was designed by Fred Meyer and produced by Aircraft Technologies of Lilburn, Georgia. When it was available the aircraft was supplied as a kit or in the form of plans for amateur construction. Neither plans nor kits are available anymore and the aircraft is out of production. Design and development Designed as a high-speed, long-range cross country and aerobatic aircraft, the Acro 1 features a cantilever low-wing, a single-seat enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. The aircraft is stressed to +/-15g. The aircraft is made from graphite and fiberglass composites. Its 20.00 ft (6.1 m) span wing has a wing area of 75.00 sq ft (6.968 m2) and has no flaps. The acceptable power range is 100 to 210 hp (75 to 157 kW) and the standard engine used is the 200 hp (149 kW) Lycoming IO-360 powerplant which gives it a cruise speed of 220 mph (350 km/h). A fuel capacity of 47 U.S. gallons (180 L; 39 imp gal) provides a range of 1,000 mi (1,600 km). The Acro 1 has an empty weight of 780 lb (350 kg) and a gross weight of 1,250 lb (570 kg), giving a useful load of 470 lb (210 kg). With full fuel of 47 U.S. gallons (180 L; 39 imp gal) the payload is 188 lb (85 kg). The manufacturer estimates the construction time from the supplied kit as 700 hours. Operational history By 1998 the company reported that one example had been flown. In November 2014 three examples were registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration.

List of aerobatic aircraft
An aerobatic aircraft is an aerodyne (a heavier-than-air aircraft) used in
aerobatics, both for flight exhibitions and aerobatic competitions.
Most fall into one of two categories, aircraft used for training and by flight
demonstration teams, which are often standard trainers or fighters, and aircraft
especially designed for aerobatics, usually at the expense of other attributes,
such as stability, carrying passengers or endurance. Dates are of first flight.
