The Alpaero Choucas (English: Jackdaw) is a French two seat, single engine tailless kit-built ultralight motor glider.
It is an ultralight, initially produced in kit form for home assembly, though since 2005 flight-ready aircraft have been an option.
[3] It is a single-engine tailless aircraft of similar layout to the Fauvel AV.22: short, with fin and rudder but no horizontal stabiliser and a mid-mounted wing with mild forward sweep at mid-chord, carrying 4° of dihedral.
The main spar is carbon fibre, supporting glass fibre-reinforced styrofoam ribs with a plywood-covered D-section box at the leading edge.
The Choucas has a tailwheel undercarriage with outward-curving faired main legs cantilevered from the lower fuselage, carrying spatted wheels.
