Plane Of The Week | Pietenpol Air Camper

The Pietenpol Air Camper was the vision of Bernard Pietenpol who wanted to create a home built aircraft that the average American could fly. In 1928, that vision took flight in the form of the Air Camper. The Air Camper is a two seat, open cockpit style aircraft with a single parasol wing. The intention of Pietenpol was to design an aircraft that could be made from locally obtainable materials. The Air Camper is still a popular choice for people looking to make a home built airplane today.
