The JPM 01 Médoc is a French amateur-built aircraft that was designed by Jean-Pierre Marie in 1977 and produced by Avions Jean-Pierre Marie (JPM) of Le Mesnil-Esnard. The aircraft is supplied as plans for amateur construction.[1]

The aircraft is named for the French community of Médoc.

Design and development

The Médoc features a cantilever low wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]

The aircraft is made from wood with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 7.50 m (24.6 ft) span wing has an area of 9.30 m2 (100.1 sq ft) and mounts flaps. Standard engines recommended are 60 kW (80 hp)-class Volkswagen air-cooled engines, including the 60 kW (80 hp) Limbach L2000 four-stroke powerplant.[1]

Almost forty years after its introduction the aircraft was redesigned and lightened, gaining slotted flaps to reduce stall speed.[1]
