In 1927 Edward Heath had marketed his plans for a small
homebuilt aircraft powered by a converted motorcycle
engine. By 1932, the Heath won its Approved Type
Certificate using the Continental A-40, flat four cylinder
engine.
The aircraft could be built from
plans, factory assembled parts or purchased complete from
the factory. Three wing variations could be
used. The Aerodrome’s example is the “clipped wing”
version for sport flying and racing.
