ERCO (Engineering and Research Corporation) was an American aircraft manufacturer best known for creating the Ercoupe, one of the most innovative and pilot-friendly general aviation aircraft ever built. The company pioneered design features that made flying simpler and safer for new pilots, including integrated controls, spin-resistant aerodynamics, and simplified landing gear handling.
Although ERCO eventually left aircraft production and shifted into industrial and manufacturing technologies, its aviation legacy remains strong. The Ercoupe became a symbol of postwar American private aviation and continues to be flown and admired today.
