Fighter and test pilot, member of parliament, government minister, racing driver… André Moynet was a man of many talents. No wonder that when he came up with a light executive aircraft, it was decidedly out-of-the ordinary. Thanks to an outstanding restoration effort, one of the two flying examples is now back in the air...

Which aircraft links the first man in space, the first Concorde test pilot, the first woman to fly faster than sound, and a man considered among the greatest exponents of the contemporary chanson? The answer: the Moynet Jupiter, France’s ‘push-pull’ tandem twin, tailored for the burgeoning business and high-end private flying market. Yuri Gagarin, André Turcat, Jacqueline Auriol and Jacques Brel all flew in this innovative design, but only two flying examples were ever to be built.
