The PIK-11 Tumppu ("Mitten") was a single-seat, single-engine sport aircraft developed in Finland in the 1950s.[1] It was a low-wing, cantilever monoplane of conventional design with an enclosed cockpit and fixed, tailwheel undercarriage.[2] It was to be the first powered aircraft produced by Polyteknikkojen Ilmailukerho,[1][lower-alpha 1] with the objective being building an aircraft for club use that was cheap to build and easy to fly.[2]
