The Eagle Aircraft X-TS, known as the Eagle Aircraft X-Wing in its prototype form and retroactively as the Eagle Aircraft Eagle 100, is an Australian light aircraft developed in the 1980s and manufactured in the 1990s. It has an unconventional tandem wing design and a structure of composite materials. It was marketed for a range of general aviation purposes, including basic training, aerial survey, and cattle mustering.[2] It was replaced in production by the Eagle Aircraft Eagle 150, and some Eagle 100s were remanufactured into this later model. The "TS" in the designation stood for "two-seat",[2] in contrast to Eagle's development aircraft, the EX-P1, which was a single-seater.
