variants with their own articles=The CAB GY30 Supercab was a two-seat light aircraft built in France in 1954, as a further development of the CAB Minicab. The design was performed by Yves Gardan, a onetime employee of French aeronautical company SIPA.

Development

Changes incorporated in the Supercab (from the Minicab):

*A larger engine

*Retractable undercarriage. Manual retraction system.

*Slotted flaps replaced the split flaps of the Minicab

Production history

Seven units were constructed by CAB before the rights to the design were sold to Gardan's former employer (SIPA), who developed the design into the SIPA 1000. However, due to a downturn in the light aircraft market at that time, only three of the SIPA variant were produced before production was halted.
