J & J Ultralights Tukan
American aircraft model
The J & J Ultralights Tukan (English: Toucan) is an American ultralight trike that was marketed by J & J Ultralights, Leading Edge Air Foils and Kemmeries Aviation. The aircraft was supplied as a kit, as parts and as plans for amateur construction.
Design and development
The aircraft was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules, including the category's maximum empty weight of 254 lb (115 kg). The aircraft has a standard empty weight of 250 lb (113 kg). It features a cable-braced hang glider-style high wing, weight-shift controls, an open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.
The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its single-surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 35 ft (10.7 m) span wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame control bar. The landing gear uses fiberglass rods for mainwheel suspension and the nosewheel features a drum brake. The pilot is accommodated on a seat that can be quickly converted into a tandem second seat. The standard wing supplied was a J & J single-surface wing, but other wings of suitable gross weight can be used.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
