The American Champion Citabria is an American light single engine aircraft descended from the Aeronca Champion, its name spelling airbatic backward. It was built for aerobatic training and flight instruction and is distinguished by its tandem two seat cockpit and strut braced high wing, a shape that has changed little across decades of production.
