American factories still build complete airplanes, from two-seat tailwheel trainers and homebuilt kits to business jets and airliners. The makers listed here build their aircraft in the USA. Engines, avionics and some large structures often come from other companies, and each listing names those where the company or a reliable source says so.
Companies that make propellers, fittings, machined parts and cabin systems are listed under Aircraft Parts. Most of them sell to aircraft builders and repair shops rather than to the public.
American Champion Aircraft builds FAA-certified two-seat tandem tailwheel airplanes: Citabria models (Aurora, Adventure, Explorer, High Country Explorer), the Scout and Denali Scout for short, rough strips, and the Super Decathlon and Xtreme Decathlon for aerobatics. It also sells factory parts and metal-spar wings and runs a repair station for Aeronca, Champion and Bellanca aircraft.
