The
Cri-Cri (French for cricket) is the world's smallest twin engine
aircraft. It is in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Cri-Cri aircraft have excellent maneuverability and are capable of
performing superior aerobatics. Although normally powered by piston
engines, they have been equipped with jet engines. Powered by jet
engines the Cri-Cri cruises at approximately 150 mph vs. 115 mph for
the propeller driven version.
Pilots report flying the Cri-Cri as a very pleasant experience. It is
extremely aerobatic and can be ready to fly with as little as three
minutes preparation.
Some 150 Cri-Cri aircraft have been registered around the world. About
110 of the aircraft are registered in their native France with some 20
more registered in the United States.
It is interesting to note that although the heavier BD-5J
is considered the world's smallest jet, Guinness Book has honored the
original Cri-Cri as the world's smallest twin- engine airplane.
However, the jet-powered version of the plane is apparently ineligible
for the world's smallest jet due to Guinness's rules on the subject.
The original Cri-Cri is also known as the MC-10. A very similar
aircraft was sold by Zenair Ltd., Canada as the MC-12 Cricket. We are
told that plans for the Cri-Cri are still available, however the MC-12
kit is no longer be- ing produced.
The
Cri-Cri fuselage is of all metal construction. Maximum weight of the
fuselage alone is about 31 lbs.
The only instruments installed in the prototype were a tachometer and
an altimeter.
Control of the aircraft flight surfaces is by the usual stick and two
pedals.
The engines are installed on two fuselage pylons and are very close to
each other. Should one engine quit in flight this compensates for a
difference in thrust and the aircraft will be controllable.
The wing is of all-metal construction utilizing a Wortmann laminar
profile airfoil. Ailerons span the entire length of the wings.
The Cri-Cri utilizes a floating "T" elevator with the same airfoil
profile as the main wings. Total elevator weight is only about 4 1/2
lbs.
Rudder is of classic construction and is in-flight adjustable.
The Cri-Cri can accommodate a number of different engines. Common are
engines from lawn mowers, motorcycles, and also from radio control
model airplanes.
The average propeller size is about 28 inches and each engine generally
produces between 9 hp and 15 hp.
Some of the engines used on the Cri-Cri were manufact- ured by Valmet,
JPX, Limbach, 3W, Rotax, Zenoah, Hirth, and ZDZ Model.
