The APM-20 Lionceau is a two-seat very light aircraft manufactured by the French manufacturer Issoire Aviation. Despite its classic appearance, it is entirely built from composite materials, especially carbon fibers.

Designed by Philippe Moniot and certified in 1999, this very light (400 kg empty, 634 kg loaded) and economical (80hp Rotax 912 engine) aircraft is primarily intended to be used to learn to fly, but also to travel with a relatively high cruise speed (113 knots).

Um, that's the Lionceau on the left !

These new-fangled instruments don't read too well when the engine's off!
