The Aristocraft was originally the last plane designed and built by the Waco Airplane Company. It was aimed at the cabin-class ultra-safe market. Terrence O'Neill bought the rights, simplified its design, and increased its payload. The all-metal high-wing ship is one of the largest homebuilts and can seat up to six persons. Its speed and range make it excellent for cross-country travel. Plans are no longer available.
