The Danieli Piuma (English: feather) is a family of Italian high-wing, strut-braced, pusher configuration single-seat motor gliders that was designed by Tiziano Danieli of Schio and supplied as plans for amateur construction.
[1][2][3][4][5][6] The Piuma was designed to be an inexpensive, easy-to-fly and easy-to-build ultralight motor glider.
The semi-tapered 11.89 m (39.0 ft) span wing is supported by a single lift strut on each side and has air brakes.
The landing gear is of tricycle configuration and made from steel with rubber shock-absorbers, with an auxiliary tailwheel and fits wheel pants to reduce drag.
Cabin width is 58 cm (23 in)[1][7] The designer estimated that it would take a builder 1000 hours to complete the aircraft from the plans.
