Template:Infobox Aircraft The Dyke Delta is an unusual utility aircraft designed in the United States in the 1960s and marketed for homebuilding. It is a delta-wing monoplane with retractable tricycle undercarriage and seating for four. The wings can be folded for towing or storage and hinge upwards to lie flat above the fuselage, one atop the other. Construction is of steel tube framework with fibreglass skin. In its standard configuration, the aircraft is a true delta with no horizontal stabiliser, but it can be built with a T-tail, and this configuration is recommended when using higher-power engines.
