Air Est JCD 03 Pelican

The Air Est JCD 03 Pelican is a French mid-wing, twin tailed, flying wing single-seat motor glider that was designed by Jean-Claude Debreyer and produced by Air Est Services of Marly, Moselle and supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a complete aircraft.

[1] The Pelican has an unconventional layout, based on the Fauvel AV.36, with a low aspect ratio wing, twin rudders mounted at mid-span and a pusher configuration Solo 210 engine mounted in the rear fuselage producing 9 kW (12 hp).

[1][2] The aircraft is constructed from fibreglass, with some surfaces fabric covered.

The 7.2 m (23.6 ft) span wing is semi-tapered, tapering outside the rudders and employs a Fauvel F4 17% airfoil.

The fuselage is just 2.00 m (6.6 ft) in length, making the aircraft very compact.
