The Davis DA-5 aka DA-5A is a single-seat sport aircraft designed in the United States in the 1970s and marketed for homebuilding. Like designer Leeon D. Davis’s successful DA-2 it is a low-wing monoplane with fixed tricycle undercarriage and a V-tail but with a much narrower fuselage accommodating only the pilot and a lengthened nose. Design work was carried out in 1972 but the prototype was not built until 1974 when it was completed in only 67 days.
