The Bilouis is a development of the single-seat Peña Capeña and like the Capeña is aerobatic. It features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-tandem enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1][2]
The Bilouis is made from wood. Its 8 m (26.2 ft) span wing has an area of 10 m2 (110 sq ft) and mounts flaps. The standard recommended engines are the 180 hp (134 kW) Lycoming O-360 and the fuel-injected 200 hp (149 kW) Lycoming IO-360 four-stroke powerplants.[1][2]
