The '''Freedom Aviation Phoenix''' was a single-engine four-seat American airplane that was sold as a homebuilt composite canard aircraft.
The kit was produced at a facility on St. Lucie County International Airport at Ft. Pierce, Florida.
==Design and development== The Phoenix airframe was formed of carbon-fiber composite materials on factory molds. The aircraft was assembled as a homebuilt, with a factory-sponsored builder-assist program available.
The aircraft has a swept, dihedral canard mounted ahead of the cabin, and a swept main lifting surface. Each wing has a fin (with full-length rudder) mounted about midway to the tip. In addition, the wingtips have swept winglets, which provide additional yaw stability while decreasing induced drag.
The Phoenix is powered by a six-cylinder horizontally opposed piston engine driving a pusher propeller. The tricycle landing gear is retractable.
Only one aircraft was ever built, and the company has since gone out of business.
