The Nesmith Cougar was a pioneering homebuilt aircraft design that demonstrated how amateur builders could achieve impressive performance from simple construction methods. First flown in 1957, it was a high-wing, strut-braced monoplane with side-by-side seating for two and typically powered by a 115-horsepower Lycoming O-235 engine. The aircraft achieved cruise speeds up to 166 mph despite its modest power, with a wingspan of 20 feet 6 inches and distinctive wood wing construction. Designed by Robert Nesmith of Houston, Texas, it was marketed as plans to homebuilders rather than as a production aircraft.
