Falconar Teal

The Falconar Teal was a two-seat homebuilt, amphibious airplane designed by Chris Falconar of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

The Teal was based on the two- or three-seat AMF Maranda, and was built mostly of wood. It featured strut-braced high wing, with “W” configuration struts running from the wing roots, down to stabilizing floats (which also contained the main wheels), then back up the wings near 70% span; cruciform tail; two pilots seated side by side under the wing; access to the cockpit by side doors; tricycle undercarriage with the main wheels retracting into stabilizing floats only about 25% of the wing span. The nosewheel retracted into the bow and was covered by two conventional (side-hinged) doors. A rarity among flying boats was its engine location in a nacelle, above the wing, with the propeller rotating immediately in front of the windscreen.

The Teal was first flown in December 1967.

From the 1970s to the 1990s plans were sold by Falconar Aviation of Edmonton (downtown municipal airport). A handful were built by amateur aircraft constructors (aka homebuilders) in Canada and the United States. Most were powered by certified Lycoming or Continental engines.

Falconar Minihawk

The Falconar Minihawk is a Canadian amateur-built aircraft, produced by Falconar Avia. The aircraft is supplied as a kit (US$11,600 kit only, less engine, 1998) or plans for amateur construction.
The aircraft features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a sliding canopy, fixed tricycle landing gear or, optionally, conventional landing gear, and a single engine in tractor configuration.
The Minihawk is made from wood, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. The aircraft’s recommended engine power range is 65 to 100 hp (48 to 75 kW) and standard engines used include the 100 hp (75 kW) Continental O-200 four-stroke powerplant. Construction time from the supplied kit is estimated as 1500 hours.
Even though a prototype was constructed, by November 2012 no examples were registered in its home country with Transport Canada.

On June 30, 2019, Falconar Avia Inc closed for business and assets dissolved. The Master Sets (Original Drawings, Plans, Info Kits, Documentation) sold included the F-9, F-10, F-11A, E, and E2, F-12A, and Minihawk Series to Manna Aviation

Falconar Master X

The MASTER X has been in conceptual development for a number of years. It was conceived to be a different kind of home built aircraft seating two in tandem. The philosophy of being different is consistent with earlier designs.
STOL (short take-off & landing) like performance, combined with the retractable landing gear for maximum efficiency and powerful twin engines mounted on pods aft of the cabin or a single engine in fuselage with belt-driven props.
