Pottier P.130 Coccinelle

The Pottier P.130 Coccinelle (English: ladybird (US: ladybug)) is a French light aircraft originating from one designed, but not built, in the 1960s.

[2] The Coccinelle is a simple wood framed, fabric covered monoplane, with shoulder mounted wings braced by a single strut each side from the lower fuselage longerons.

[1] The Coccinelle's fuselage has a rectangular section throughout and its profile is straight edged except under the engine, where it curves upwards.

The side-by-side seats are ahead of the wing leading edge and largely enclosed under a one piece, rear hinged, part bubble type canopy.

Following Pettier normal practice, the Coccinelle was intended for home building from his plans.
