Mirage Aircraft Corporation is an American aircraft manufacturer based in Prescott Valley, Arizona. The company specializes in the provision of homebuilt aircraft plans for amateur construction.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The company markets plans for the Mirage Celerity that was designed by Larry Burton and first flown in 1985. Burton died suddenly of a heart attack in 1994 and Mirage Aircraft continued the sale of his aircraft design. Kits for the Celerity and the fixed gear Mirage Marathon variant are provided by Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co.[1][7][8][9]

The company was originally located in Tucson, Arizona and later relocated to Prescott Valley, Arizona.[1][2]
