The Gatard Statoplan AG 02 Poussin (French: "Chick") was a light, single-seat sports airplane developed in France in the late 1950s and marketed for homebuilding.
In layout, it was a low-wing cantilever monoplane of short-coupled design with fixed tailwheel undercarriage.
Construction was a plywood-covered wooden structure throughout, and the cockpit was enclosed by a large perspex bubble canopy.
The variable-incidence horizontal stabiliser was fitted with small endplates to provide extra directional stability but there were no separate elevators.
The Poussin, however, was designed to climb by lowering specially-designed flaps and trimming the tailplane to balance out any change in pitch, therefore allowing the aircraft to achieve its maximum rate of climb while keeping the fuselage within 4° of level.
