Era
JDM Roitelet (Wren)
A single-seat ultra-light monoplane. Poinsard-engined prototype flew successfully, but lack of suitable production engine prevented manufacture and by 1951 company had been dissolved.
JDM
France
JDM was founded in the late 1940s by Jean Dabos to market the Roitelet (Wren) single-seat ultra-light monoplane. Poinsard-engined prototype flew successfully, but lack of suitable production engine prevented manufacture and by 1951 company had been dissolved.
Jay Souza Gyroplanes Super Bandit
A pilot of up to 250 pounds can comfortably jump aboard the Super Bandit. The single-seat, opened-frame can be equipped with a 94-hp EA-81 Subaru engine or it can morph into an ultralight with a 55-hp 503 Rotax engine. With the Subaru, it can reach 85 mph and with the Rotax, 63 mph. Useful load is 313 pounds with the Subaru or 348 pounds with the Rotax.
Kit prices in 2001 were:
Basic kit (without engine, instruments and propeller): $7500
Deluxe kit: $11,000
Javelin Aircraft Corp
Plans were available to construct Wichawk biplane, first flown 1971 and offering side-by-side seating plus optional third seat. Also offers plans for V6 STOL, a four-seat high-wing cabin monoplane which uses Piper PA-22 Tri-Pacer components.
1995: Municipal Airport, Augusta, KS 67010, USA.
Jatho Stahltaube
The 1911 Jatho “Stahltaube” (“Steel Dove”) monoplane was designed and built by Karl Jatho in Germany.
Jatho V
This 1910 Jatho Eindecker was first fitted with a 35 hp Koerting engine. It is likely that this Blériot-inspired monoplane was later identified as the Jatho V, later fitted with an Argus engine.
Jatho VI Eindecker
Not much is known about this pusher, which was designed by pioneer Karl Jatho (1873-1933) of Germany. It had a 50 hp Argus engine, a wing span of 11.8 m and a maximum speed of 70 km/h. It was built by the Hannoversche Flugzeugwerke GmbH in 1910 and was reported to fly well.
Jatho Motordrachen / Doppeldecker / Zweidecker I
Rebuilt from Karl Jatho’s earlier Dreidecker, which had been damaged on August 21, 1903, the Jatho Doppeldecker “Motordrachen” of 1903 was powered by a 9-12 hp Buchet motor, belt-drive pusher propeller.
Two Germans, Gustav Weisskopf and Karl Jatho, made the first motorized flight on August 14, 1901 with a 21-horsepower monoplane with 12 horses, a flight of 850 meters. The second was a similar performance on August 18, 1903.
It is on the moor of Vahrenfelder, that Karl Jatho flew 18 meters, rising to 1 meter of height, with his biplane type “Zweidecker I”. The propulsion was from a two-bladed propeller and single-cylinder Buchet engine of 9 horses.
Engine: Buchet, 9-12 hp
Wingspan: 8 m
Wing area: 36 sq.m
Length: 3.6 m
Height: 1.78 m
Jaskiewicz Electric
In September 1973 the Liverpool Echo covered a story about a man who was building an aircraft to be powered by a form of electric motor. Jan Jaskiewicz was the designer and builder, although at the time he was employing two women to do the fabric work for him. He had leased an old school for his workshop in Great Homer Street, Liverpool, UK.
The aircraft was of tubular steel construction and employed a large amount of glass-fibre areas. Empty weight was quoted at 300 lb. At that time a professional-looking fuselage had been completed and the wings were about to be worked on. The exact nature of the engine, which the designer referred to as a battery engine”, was not revealed.
