Jodel D18
The Jodel D18 is a French ultralight aircraft, designed and produced by Jodel. Design and development
The original amateur-built category D18 was adapted to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules with the addition of larger flaps and renamed the D185. Both the D18 and D185 feature a cantilever low wing, two seats in a side-by-side enclosed cockpit configuration, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. A tricycle landing gear-equipped version is designated D19 for the amateur-built category and D195 for the microlight category. All the aircraft in the series are all made with a wooden structure, covered in doped aircraft fabric. The  span wing employs polyhedral configuration with the outer wing panels exhibiting much greater dihedral. Engines used include the  Jabiru 2200 four-stroke powerplant as well as Rotax, Limbach Flugmotoren and  Volkswagen 1600 automotive engines. Variants
