  2. Colomban MC15 cri-cri at Ferte Alais Airshow. Cri-cri (after the French word for cricket) is a very light twin-engined kitplane, recognized as the smallest twin-engined aircraft in the world.Designed in the early 1970s by a French aeronautical engineer Michel Colomban, the Cri-cri aircraft is the world's smallest twin-engine aircraft. At only 16' wingspan and 12'10" length, it is obviously a single-seater, making an impression of a dwarf velomobile with wings at close range.Cri-cri has superior aerobatic performance; e.g., the one in the picture is capable of 1 roll a second. There are approximately 30 Cri-cri aircraft in Airworthy condition in the U.S. and over 100 around the world as of 2003. As with any homebuilt aircraft, the existing Cri-cri planes have often been modified by their builders, departing from the original design to a varying degree, resulting in different performance. One flying Cri-cri, F-PZPR, was even equipped by its pilot Nicolas Charmont with jet engines, increasing the cruising speed from 115 mph for the regular propeller-driven version to around 150 mph.
