Jean Cayla wurde am 22. Mai 1996 bei einem Flugzeugabsturz
in den Alpen getötet.
Seine Karriere als Flugzeugkonstrukteur begann bei Aviation Louis Breguet mit dem Leistungssegler Breguet 901.Später wechselte er mit einem Teil des Konstruktionsteams zu S.I.R.E.N. wo er den Edelweiss C30 unter der Zugrundelegung der nie gebauten Breguet 907 konstruierte , der am 25.September 1962 seinen Erstflug hatte. Nachdem S.I.R.E.N. den Segelflugzeugbau aufgab, wechselte Cayla zu Bertin, wo er das Edelweiss C30 zu dem C34 als Leistungssegelflugzeug der offenen Klasse weiterentwickelte. Zuletzt tat er sich mit Philippe MONIOT zusammen, um dem Doppelsitzer EC 75 zu konstruieren, welcher am 2. Juli 1974 erstmals folg. |

Sad news: Jean CAYLA killed himself in sailplane, May 22, 1996,
in the Alps.
Engineer at the engineering and design department of Vélizy of the Workshops of
Aviation Louis Breguet but also glides confirmed, it was charged by George
Ricard, the technical director, to study the sailplane of high performances most
modern of the world at that time (1st flight 11 the Mars 1954 in Toulouse),
Breguet 901. This sailplane was twice consecutive champion of the world; in 1954
with CAMP-HILL in England with Gerard Pierre, and 1956 with St YAN in France
with the American Paul MAC CREADY.
Then it was the two-seater Breguet 904 in 1956; extrapolated Br-901, it made, lasting of many years, the beautiful days of the National center of St Auban.
In 1967, it was the two-seater school Br-902 and in 1958, the single-seater of standard class Br-905 Warbler; it is the only Breguet sailplane which I had the honor to control. In 1959 Jean CAYLA extrapolated Warbler the two-seater school Br-906 Jackdaw; unfortunately the Breguet company removed that year the construction of sailplanes of its activities, and the prototype remained single. However Jean CAYLA had in study a free sailplane of class Br-907, which was born never.
Jean CAYLA passed then, with part of the Planeur team of Breguet, to the SIREN then in full expansion, company whose engineering and design department was in Versailles and the factory with Argenton on Hollow. He there studied and built a sailplane also celebrates him, C30 Edelweiss of standard class, using certain ideas of Br-907. Edelweiss made his first flight 25 Septembre 1962. In February 1963, Jacky Lacheny is second with the championship of the world of JUNIN in Argentina, while F.L.HENRY misses little gaining in free class, on board old Br-901S. In 1965, with the championship of the world of SOUTH CERNAY in England, it is the dedication: F.L Henry is champion of the world on board C30 Edelweiss of series. It is for this period of development of Edelweiss that I became acquainted in Argenton with J CAYLA.
But the SIREN gives up the study of new sailplanes and CAYLA is found at BERTIN where it carries out a super Edelweiss of free class C34 which flies in 1968. Built with 2 specimens, it will not have a continuation.
Finally it takes part, with Philippe MONIOT, being studied of the two-seater coast at coast EC 75, which flies to Argenton on July 2, 1974.
Jean CAYLA was for a long time the most eminent member of the technical commission of the FFVV. He was 70 years old.
