The Piel CP-30 Emeraude was a pioneering French light aircraft that bridged factory production and homebuilding communities, becoming one of Europe's most successful amateur-built designs. First flown in 1954, it was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed tailwheel undercarriage that seated two side-by-side and could reach speeds that made it the fastest civilian two-place aircraft designed in France at the time. With an 8.25-meter wingspan and powered by a 90-horsepower Continental engine, over 250 aircraft were built across multiple variants by various manufacturers including Coopavia, Menavia, and Scintex.
