The Jeof Candiana (named for the town of its origin) is an Italian homebuilt aircraft that was designed and produced by Jeof srl of Candiana, introduced in the mid-1990s. When it was available the aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction.[1]
The Candiana features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cabin accessed via doors, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. Tricycle landing gear is optional.[1]
The aircraft is made from a combination of welded steel tubing and aluminum. The aircraft was designed as a testbed for the Sax 86 engine, a derivative of the Fiat Fire four-cylinder four-stroke automotive powerplant.[1]
The standard day, sea level, no wind, takeoff and landing roll is 100 m (328 ft).[1]
Operational history
By 1998 the company reported that ten kits had been sold, were completed and flying.[1]
