Jacques V. Müller emigrated to the USA and settled in Salina, Kansas, where he experimented with balloons and from 1909 reportedly built four airplanes. The Blériot-inspired “Prairie Eagle” was the first monoplane in Kansas.

Müller, Jacques V.
Jacques V. Müller was born in Luxembourg in 1881 and emigrated to the USA in 1900 to join his sister, who ran a farm there. He settled in Salina, Kansas, where he experimented with balloons and from 1909 reportedly built four airplanes. In 1914 he returned to Luxembourg, where he started a mine and a pigment factory.
Mueyetemi Sportrepulo Egyesulet M.24 Nebulo
The M.24 Nebulo tandem two-seat cabin monoplane was built by the Muegyetimi Sportrepulo Egyesult (Sport Flying Association of the Technical University) of Budapest, Hungary, and first flown in 1938.
The M.24 was of mixed construction with a wooden wing and steel-tube fuselage with plywood and fabric covering, and power was provided by a 100 hp Hirth HM.504 engine.

Mudry CAP 20
The CAP 20 is a single seat derivative of the CAP 10.
The CAP 20A is a single seat derivative of the CAP 10 with a no dihedral wing and lengthened landing gear.
The CAP 20B is a modified CAP 20A with new wings and larger ailerons.
The CAP 20L is a shorter airplane than its predecessor, the 20, and it seems to benefit from a much increased rudder area. Lightened for competition (hence the L designation, for leger), the CAP 20L also has a new wing design.
Mudry CAP 10
The CAP 10 was developed by CAARP and first flown in 1968.
The CAP 10 aerobatic trainer is a side-by-side monoplane, powered by a 190 hp injected Lycoming engine.
The construction is all wood with a cotton-covered rear-fuselage. (By law, all fabric must be replaced every 3 yrs in France). In 1967 they were priced at US$30,000 with no radio or gyros.
Production of the CAP.10B lightweight, fully aerobatic piston-engined primary trainer continued, and 88 have been delivered to military customers by 1987.
Total production exceeded 220 aircraft by 1997, and a glider-towing version, the CAP.10R, was available.

Mudry
Mudry et Compagnie
Established 1958 by M. Auguste Mudry in the former SAN factory at Bernay, Normandy. Built CAARP-developed CAP 10 two-seat and CAP 20 single-seat aerobatic aircraft. Merged in early 1978 with CAARP. Became known as Avions Mudry et Cie until assets purchased by AeroTech Europe.
A subsidiary of Aeronautical Service, Akrotech Europe has taken over assets of Avions Mudry et Cie, continuing production of the CAP 10B two-seat aerobatic and club trainer (first flown 1968) and CAP 232 single-seat aerobatic competition monoplane (first flown July 1994). Also produces the CAP 222, a version of the US AkroTech Giles G-202 two-seat kit-built aerobatic competition aircraft and trainer.
Mudry was bought out by the group which owns Robin Aircraft and as a result the Barouder became available through Bul Aéro (1998).
