About the Druine D.62 Condor

The Druine D.62 Condor is a French-designed two-seat light aircraft that emerged in the early 1960s as an evolution of Roger Druine's earlier Turbulent design. Built primarily by amateur constructors under plans supplied by Rollason Aircraft in the UK and other licensees across Europe, the Condor represents the golden age of postwar homebuilt aviation when wood-and-fabric taildraggers dominated the amateur construction movement. The type features a conventional high-wing layout with tandem seating, wooden construction with fabric covering, and typically mounts a Continental C90 or similar 90-100 horsepower four-cylinder engine driving a fixed-pitch propeller.

Its docile handling characteristics and relatively straightforward build process made it popular among European homebuilders through the 1960s and 1970s, though production numbers remained modest compared to mass-manufactured trainers. The Condor's performance envelope is typical of its era—cruise speeds around 95 knots, a service ceiling near 12,000 feet, and endurance of roughly three hours on internal fuel. While never certified for commercial operations, the type earned a reputation for economical operation and forgiving flight characteristics that made it suitable for recreational flying and basic pilot training in the private sector.

Most surviving examples are concentrated in the United Kingdom and France, where they remain active on the vintage aircraft circuit. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with activity spanning routes.
