The Prue IIA is an American, high-wing, two-seat, T-tailed glider that was designed by Irving Prue and constructed by Ed Minghelle of Palmdale, California.[1][2][3] Design and developmentBased on the Prue Two, the IIA incorporates many changes to the basic design, including a T-tail in place of a low-tail, fixed instead of retractable landing gear, a shorter two-piece wing instead of a three-piece wing and an empty weight that is {{convert|210|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} lighter. The Prue IIA was built by Minghelle between 1961 and 1964, culminating in a first flight in October 1964.[1][2] The Prue IIA has a {{convert|60|ft|m|1|abbr=on}} wing that employs a NACA 63-618 airfoil. The aircraft is of all-metal construction and seats two in tandem under a long single-piece canopy.[1][2][4] Only one Prue IIA was ever built.[1][2] Operational historyThe Prue IIA was used to set several multi-place glider records. It held the world out-and-return record of {{convert|366.88|mi|km|2|abbr=on}} for a period of six months in 1967. A second world out-and-return record was set in 1972, flying {{convert|425.3|mi|km|1|abbr=on}} from Pearblossom, California. In 1967 it was also flown to a world multi-place declared goal record of {{convert|322.35|mi|km|0|abbr=on}}.[1][2] The IIA was removed from the Federal Aviation Administration aircraft registry on 16 March 1989 and now belongs to the National Soaring Museum.[1][3] Aircraft on display
