About the CP-1330 Super Emeraude
The Piel CP-1330 Super Emeraude is a single-engine, fixed-wing aircraft designed for two occupants sitting side-by-side. It features a low-wing cantilever layout with a tailwheel undercarriage, making it suitable for pilots seeking a wooden aircraft with aerobatic capabilities.
Developed in France by its creator, the design evolved from an earlier baseline model through structural reinforcement and aerodynamic refinement, allowing it to achieve certification for aerobatic flight. Production spread globally through various international manufacturers and partners, including ventures in South Africa and the United Kingdom, where modified versions met local airworthiness standards. Reviewers have noted that while the intricate timber construction requires significant time to build, the resulting airframe is visually striking.
