The **Pro-Composites Freedom** is an American [amateur-built aircraft](/source/Amateur-built_aircraft), under development by [Pro-Composites](/source/Pro-Composites) of [Buffalo Grove, Illinois](/source/Buffalo_Grove,_Illinois). The aircraft is intended to be supplied in the form of plans for amateur construction, with some pre-formed parts made available to speed construction.[1][2]

## Design and development

The aircraft features a cantilever [low-wing](/source/Low-wing), a four-seat enclosed cabin accessed by doors, fixed [tricycle landing gear](/source/Tricycle_landing_gear) with [wheel pants](/source/Wheel_pants) and a single engine in [tractor configuration](/source/Tractor_configuration).[1]

The aircraft is made from pre-formed flat [fiberglass](/source/Fiberglass) and foam composite panels which are then radius bent to shape. Its 30 ft (9.1 m) span wing employs a [NACA 63A-214](/source/NACA_airfoil) [airfoil](/source/Airfoil) at the [wing root](/source/Wing_root), transitioning to a NACA 63A-212 airfoil at the [wing tip](/source/Wing_tip). The wing has an area of 134 sq ft (12.4 m2) and the cabin will be 46 in (117 cm) in width. The landing gear features a fully castering nosewheel and differential braking for steering. The aircraft has been designed for engines of 180 to 320 hp (134 to 239 kW).[1][3]

The manufacturer markets the design as "the only composite, plans built, 4 seat aircraft that uses a conventional - non canard - platform. It can be constructed entirely from the manuals using raw materials or from pre-formed parts."[2]
