Davis DA-2 at Airventure 2008. Davis DA-2A. The Davis DA-2 is a light aircraft designed in the United States in the 1960s and was marketed for homebuilding. [1] While it is a low-wing monoplane of largely conventional design with fixed tricycle undercarriage, the DA-2 is given a distinctive appearance by its slab-like fuselage construction and its V-tail.

Leeon D. Davis (March 9, 1930 – April 7, 2007) was an American aircraft designer, noted for his homebuilt aircraft. Davis started building aircraft models at the age of six. Davis graduated with a high school education and a correspondence course in drafting and engineering from the Ryan Aeronautical Institute.
The Davis DA-5, a.k.a. DA-5A, is a single-seat sport aircraft designed in the United States in the 1970s and marketed for homebuilding. Like designer Leeon D. Davis 's successful DA-2 , it is a low-wing monoplane with fixed tricycle undercarriage and a V-tail , but with a much narrower fuselage accommodating only the pilot, and a lengthened nose.
The Davis D-1 was developed from the Davis V-3, which in turn was developed from the Vulcan American Moth. The Davis Aircraft Corporation had its factory at Richmond, Indiana . The D-1 is a parasol-winged aircraft of mixed construction with a two-spar wing and a rectangular welded steel-tube fuselage , the whole being covered by fabric.
VF-1, the first of the Pacific Fleet F-14 Tomcat squadrons to form, deployed aboard USS Enterprise, loses second of two aircraft during the 1974–75 deployment, signalling fan-blade containment problems with early TF30 turbofans, [1] when F-14A-70-GR, BuNo 159001, 'NK112', crashes into the sea near Cubi Point after engine failure. Both crew ...

Davis constructed his DA-1 starting on 24 April 1957. It was a strut-braced high-wing single-engine all-aluminum airplane designed around the new Lycoming O-360 engine. The fixed-nosegear-equipped piston-engine DA-1 was of otherwise conventional configuration, but its V-tail was similar to that of the contemporary Beechcraft Bonanza , whose ...
The Davis wing is a World War II-era aircraft wing design that was used by Consolidated Aircraft on the Consolidated B-24 Liberator, as well as other models. The airfoil had a lower drag coefficient than most contemporary designs, which allowed higher speeds, and created significant lift at relatively low angles of attack.
