Peña Joker

The Peña Joker and Super Joker are a family of French amateur-built aircraft that were designed by Louis Peña of Dax, Landes and are made available in the form of plans for amateur construction.

Design and development
The Joker is intended as a training aircraft. It features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The Joker has an 8 m span wing, with an area of 10.40 m2 and mounts flaps. The recommended engines range in power from 100 to 180 hp and include the 100 hp Lycoming O-235 to the 180 hp Lycoming O-360 four-stroke powerplants.

As the designer is a competitive aerobatic pilot, the Joker retains the capability of doing basic aerobatics and features a fast roll rate.
