The ADI Condor was a motor glider of unusual configuration built in the United States in 1981. While most motor gliders follow traditional sailplane layout, the Condor was of twin-boom configuration, with twin, inwardly canted tail fins joined at their tips by a common horizontal stabilizer. A pusher propeller driven by a converted Volkswagen engine was mounted at the rear of the central nacelle that seated the pilot and passenger in tandem. Construction throughout was of composite materials. The single example of the aircraft was destroyed in a crash in late 1982 after an engine failure.

- L'ADI Condor était un motoplaneur biplace de conception originale construit en 1981. Réalisé en matériaux composites, c’était un appareil à empennage bipoutre, le moteur, un Reymaster (VW) de 2100 cm³, étant installé derrière un court fuselage et entraînant une hélice propulsive. Une panne de moteur durant un décollage de nuit fin 1982 entraîna la destruction du prototype. Martin Hollmann, qui avait dessiné l'appareil, fut assez grièvement blessé dans cet accident.
