The Jora was a light aircraft produced in the Czech Republic produced by Jora SRO in Vraclav. Looking very similar to the Fantasy Air Cora, which made its public debut at the Fredrichshafen Air Show in Germany in May 1997, it becamepopular due to its low cost and good performance.
The W.34 series was developed concurrently with the W.33 by Junkers using virtually an identical basic design, and both were refinements of the F.13 and built as general purpose transports.
The McCandless M-4 Gyroplane was a British single-seater ultra-light autogyro first flown in 1961 and was initially powered by a Triumph motor-cycle engine, this later being replaced by a Norton motor-cycle engine but this was also found not to be suitable for installation in such a machine and was abandoned
Designed by Rimn Isaminskas in Los Angeles, an aeronautical engineer, the Jungster series of light aircraft were simple, strong aircraft, the Jungster I being an aerobatic biplane. The design was based on the German wartime aerobatic training biplane, the Bucker Jungmeister. Designed in 1962 and built to 80% scale, the
The Jurca MJ-8 and MJ-80 are amateur-built scale replicas of the World War II Focke Wulf Fw-190 fighter aircraft, the former being to 75% scale and the latter full scale.
The F.13 was a development of a series of light transports designed by Professor Hugo Junkers, they all being all-metal monoplanes with corrugated skinning to provide strength.
The MJ-10 is a 75% scale replica of the Supermarine Spitfire designed by the late Marcel Jurca in France and is made available in plan form for construction by amateur builders.
The Junkers G.31 series of commercial transports was one of the success stories of the 1930s, and its operation in New Guinea in the freight role has gone down as one of the important annals in aviation history.
It seems there were two Junkers J.1 aircraft, the first, the Blechesel,known as the‘Tin Donkey” or “Sheet Metal Donkey” being the world’s first practical all-metal monoplane and appeared at the beginning of World War

The Jabiru J-120 is one of a range of light aircraft designed in Australia and built by Jabiru at its facility at Bundaberg in Queensland for the recreational aviation market in Australia.
The D-18 Sovereign was derived from the Jodel D-11 series but it is smaller and lighter all round so that it may be fitted with smaller engines, ie in the 41-kw (55-hp) to 60-kw (80-hp) class.
The D-112 Club series was developed from the D-11 Club series, embodying some major design refinement, in the late 1960s, being the most popular of the Jodel series of light touring and sporting monoplanes in France
