The Peña Capeña is a French aerobatic amateur-built aircraft that was designed by competitive aerobatic pilot Louis Peña of Dax, Landes and made available in the form of plans for amateur construction.[1]

Design and development

The Capeña features a cantilever low-wing, a single seat enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]

The Capeña is made from wood. Its 6.8 m (22.3 ft) span wing has an area of 7.65 m2 (82.3 sq ft) and mounts flaps. The standard recommended engines is the 180 to 200 hp (134 to 149 kW) Lycoming AEIO-360 four-stroke powerplant.[1]

The aircraft was later developed into the two seat Peña Bilouis.[1]
