The Pro-Composites Personal Cruiser, also called the Corvair Cruiser, is a single seat, composite homebuilt aircraft.

The Personal Cruiser is a single place, low-wing, tricycle gear aircraft with a V-tail.

The composite aircraft is built using the FOLDaPLANE method. The method uses flexible flat composite panels that are radius-bent to form stiff fuselage sections inside a jig. Building time is estimated at 800 hours.

The aircraft is designed for powerplants up to 250 lb (113 kg) in weight and has an acceptable power range of 65 to 115 hp (48 to 86 kW). The 100 hp (75 kW) Corvair air-cooled four stroke automotive conversion is commonly employed.
