The Glasair GlaStar (sometimes Glastar) is an American amateur-built aircraft that was designed by Tom Hamilton and produced by Stoddard-Hamilton Aircraft and later Glasair Aviation. It was first flown in 1994 and was superseded in production by the Glasair Sportsman 2+2 c. 2005. When it was available the aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction.[2][3][4] Design and developmentThe GlaStar features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit accessed via doors, fixed tricycle landing gear or conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[2][4] The aircraft is made with a welded steel fuselage, with a fiberglass covering and aluminum wings. Its {{convert|35|ft|m|1|abbr=on}} span wing employs a NASA GA(W)-2 airfoil at the wing root, with a NASA GA(W)-2 mod at the wing tip. The wings have an area of {{convert|128|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}, mount flaps and can be folded for ground transportation or storage. The acceptable power range is {{convert|100|to|180|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} and early engines used included the {{convert|100|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Rotax 912ULS. The aircraft proved underpowered with the Rotax, and later the {{convert|150|to|160|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Lycoming O-320 and the {{convert|180|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Lycoming O-360 four-stroke powerplants were used. The landing gear can be rapidly converted between tricycle and taildragger configurations. The cockpit is {{convert|44|in|cm|abbr=on}} wide and includes a large baggage area that will accommodate {{convert|200|lb|kg|abbr=on}} of cargo.[2][4][5] Initial factory estimated construction time was 1200 hours.[3] Accidents and IncidentsIn 1996, a service recall was issued for the control yoke assembly of select GlaStar kits.{{Citation needed|date=October 2016}} In 1999, one of the GlaStar kits not included in the recall crashed, killing its two occupants.{{Citation needed|date=October 2016}} Variants
