Elias-Stupar was twin-engined cantilever civil biplane.
Biplane
Elias EM/EO “Marine Expeditionary”
In 1922 Elias made first of seven EM/EO “Marine Expeditionary” two-seat biplanes (wheels or floats).
EKW C-35
In 1934, the Swiss air arm, or Fliegertruppe, called upon the EKW (Eidgenossische Konstruktions Werkstätte, or Federal Construction Workshop) to design a new airplane that could combine the roles of fighter, reconnaissance and tactical support aircraft. EKW’s efforts to fulfill such a difficult requirement produced two very different blueprints. One, the C-35, was a sturdy but conventional two-seater biplane first flown in 1935. The other was the C-36. The Swiss government judged the C-35 a surer prospect for swift development.
The biplane was fast becoming outmoded, and within 3½ years the Swiss government accepted the fact it had probably ordered the wrong aircraft. Two prototypes and 88 production C 35s were built, the first in 1936 and the last eight being assembled from spares in 1942. Of similar mixed construction to the C.V E, the C 35 was powered by the 860 hp Saurer built Hispano Suiza 12Ycrs, with a 20 mm (0.79in) cannon firing through the hub of the three blade fixed pitch propeller. Two 7.5 mm (0.295 in) machine guns were fixed under the lower wing, and a third was aimed by the observer after folding forward the canopy over the rear cockpit. A bomb load of six 100kg (220 1b) bombs could be carried. The C 35 served until 1949.

Early Bird Jenny
Designed by Dennis Wiley, the Jenny is a 2/3 scale WW I replica biplane. The fuselage construction is welded 4130 steel tube. Wing construction uses aluminium leading and trailing edge spars, and stamped aluminium ribs. The craft is covered in standard aircraft fabric. Building times are reported to be 400 to 600 hours.
A construction video is available which will cut building time considerably. The craft can be powered by the Rotax 503/582, or the AMW. The designer has completed the installation of a Chevy Geo engine on his own craft and had about 40 hours flying time on it.
The Geo is reported to put out about 65 HP and come in at a weight of 135 lbs. complete. The Jenny is a tail dragger, in a tractor configuration. Controls are stick and rudder.
The craft can be built from a set of plans and raw materials or was available in kit form.
The Jenny takes off in about 300 feet climbs at about 600 feet per minute and cruises in the 65/70 m.p.h. range.
The designer indicates that the craft has been tested to +6 and -4 G’s ultimate. Apparently 400 plan sets have been sold 40 aircraft are flying, with another 27 under construction.
By 2009, the Jenny was marketed by Loehle Aircraft Corp who carried the design for a while.
