The Cri-Cri aircraft takes its title as the smallest twin-engined plane in the world with flying honors. Michel Colomban designed this impressive craft back in the 1970s and continues to evolve today, thanks to innovative solutions like lightweight aluminum frames glued together with Klegecell foam sheets. Colomban's master design has successfully captured a significant portion of the market share with many variations built over time by numerous enthusiasts worldwide who choose this aircraft as their dream project. Experienced pilots rave about how effortlessly stable it handles in any wind condition and extremely easy to learn even for inexperienced fliers, reaching astonishing speeds on windy days. It remains quite nimble despite being tiny and will still fly steady on a single engine or even without either of them, maintaining a comparable glide rate as that of top-notch aircraft in its class when one takes into account its incredible lift-to-drag ratio of 11 to 1 while its steep fall can slow down at roughly the speed of approximately two-and-a-half meters per second. These daring pilots master complex aerial tricks without batting an eye. Measured parameters reveal an impressively lightweight plane with a minimal empty weight of just seventy-eight kilograms and takes only a modest maximum takeoff weight, just a hundred-and-seventy kilograms. Aerodynamic prowess is clearly visible throughout every aspect from wingspan measurements to maximum operational velocity speeds recorded while flying - that averages a mind-boggling two-twenty kilometers per hour with no turbulence! Maximum lift reaches sixty degrees with both props turned on. Even after losing engines in a dire scenario pilots find ease controlling it under extreme conditions thanks partly due efficient wing configurations like Wortmann 21.7 series design incorporated successfully providing good control. Additional interesting variations also pop up periodically including turbojet power plant designs built in recent years which continue evolving - each offering distinct benefits compared original engine variants; an extra testament showing constant efforts ongoing here continually making sure people have their personal flying experience tailored just the right fit whatever they need it for today!
