After sending my previous e.mail I went to the website to vote for the greatest aviation innovation.  The Ercoupe was not even on the list of nominees. 
 
I sent Eclipse Aviation's PR department my feelings of disappointment.  What a shame. 
 
The Ercoupe
2 control, Like driving a car.
First production tricycle gear airplane
Unique wing and wing root design to make it unspinnable.
Automatic carb heat with throttle retarded (Most have been removed.  Why?)
Some models with Trim-O-Matic aileron trim.
Over 5000 sold.
 
In my book, it just doesn't get more innovative than that.
