The Peña Capeña is a French aerobatic amateur-built aircraft that was designed by competitive aerobatic pilot Louis Peña of Dax, Landes and made available in the form of plans for amateur construction.[1][2] Design and developmentThe Capeña features a cantilever low-wing, a single seat enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1][2] The Capeña is made from wood. Its {{convert|6.8|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} span wing has an area of {{convert|7.65|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} and mounts flaps. The standard recommended engines is the {{convert|180|to|200|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Lycoming AEIO-360 four-stroke powerplant.[1][2] The aircraft was later developed into the two seat Peña Bilouis.[1][2] Specifications (Capeña) {{Aircraft specs |ref=Bayerl and Tacke[1][2] |prime units?=met |genhide= |crew=one |capacity= |length m= |length ft= |length in= |length note= |span m=6.8 |span ft= |span in= |span note= |height m= |height ft= |height in= |height note= |wing area sqm=7.65 |wing area sqft= |wing area note= |aspect ratio= |airfoil= |empty weight kg=440 |empty weight lb= |empty weight note= |gross weight kg=580 |gross weight lb= |gross weight note= |fuel capacity={{convert|85|l}} in two tanks of {{convert|40|l}} and {{convert|45|l}} |more general=
