The AmEagle American Eaglet was a highly unorthodox ultralight sailplane marketed in the U.S. for homebuilding. It was a one-seat, high-wing braced monoplane that carried an inverted V-tail on a long boom extending from a pod-like fuselage. Intended for self-launching, it was equipped with a McCulloch go-kart engine and a folding propeller behind the cabin. Its first flight was on 19 November 1975, and by 1978, at least 250 sets of plans had been sold, with 12 aircraft reportedly completed.

- L’AM Eagle American Eaglet est un planeur américain léger destiné à la construction amateur. Dessiné par Larry Haig, ce monoplace, dont le premier vol remonte à 1975, est reconnaissable à son fuselage, formé d’une courte nacelle en fibre de verre prolongée par un poutre en aluminium supportant un empennage en V inversé. L’aile est réalisée en fibre de verre et toile enduite. Reposant sur une roue escamotable, il est doté de ‘spoilerons’ contrôlant à la fois le taux de descente et le roulis. Au moins 26 exemplaires construits.
