Products
The company was established to produce biplane sport aircraft in the Template:Convert range. The company built one Acme Biplane and also produced the parasol wing Acme Sportsman. The Sportsman was designed by Edward A. Stalker, the head of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering at the University of Michigan. Only two of that model were completed before the company went out of business by 1931, in the Great Depression.<ref name="AerofileAb"/><ref name="gun man"/><ref name="JAWA1929"/><ref>Faurote, Fay Leone, Aircraft Year Book for 1930, American Aviation Publications, 1930, pg 76</ref>
