Avions Jean-Pierre Marie (abbreviated as JPM) is a French aircraft manufacturer located in Le Mesnil-Esnard. Established by Jean-Pierre Marie, the firm focuses on creating designs for light aircraft intended for amateur builders.
The company emphasizes ease of assembly in its designs, featuring rectangular wing structures and utilizing traditional materials such as wood and fabric. This approach allows enthusiasts to construct aircraft without requiring advanced skills or specialized equipment. Initial models were engineered to accommodate the affordable Volkswagen air-cooled engine.
JPM's portfolio includes a variety of wood-and-fabric light and ultralight aircraft, ranging from two-seat models like the JPM 01 Médoc—which had its maiden flight in 1977—to the three-seat JPM 02 Anjou. Other offerings encompass the two-seat ultralight JPM 03 Loiret, the two-seat JPM 03-7 Calva, the single-seat ultralight JPM 04 Castor, as well as tandem two-seat versions such as the JPM 05 Trucanou (first flown in 2007) and the ultralight JPM 05 Layon. Future developments include the two-seat ultralight JPM 06 and a three-seater model designated JPM 07.
