The Maule M-1 was a 1930s American single-seat monoplane designed an built by Belford Maule, the first in a series of aircraft designed by Maule. Design and developmentMaule had joined the United States Army 1918 and was employed as a mechanic working on airships, he decided to design and build his own aircraft later called the M-1. At the time he was close to Chesapeake Bay so the mid-wing monoplane was built as a floatplane with twin floats. The aircraft was powered by a Henderson {{convert|32|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} converted motorcycle engine. Maule left the Army and he transported his aircraft to his new home, now registered NC12634. He first flew it in 1932 although he had no flying experience at that time. In 1933 Maule joined the research and development department of Lycoming but by 1940 he left and continued to develop designs for aircraft. At some point, the aircraft was also fitted with a conventional wheeled undercarriage.[1] {{aircontent|see also= |related= |similar aircraft= |lists= }} References1. ^{{cite web|last=Koekland|url=http://www.aerofiles.com/_ma.html|title=American Airpolanes Ma - Me|accessdate=5 Jan 2019}} }}{{Maule aircraft}} 6 : United States sport aircraft 1930–1939|Maule aircraft|Mid-wing aircraft|Single-engined tractor aircraft|Aircraft first flown in 1932|Floatplanes |
