The Castel Yanapour II was a training glider built in the late 1929 in France.[1] It was a glider of high-wing monoplane configuration.[2] It was designed by Spanish-born French aeronautical engineer Robert Costello and manufactured by Constructions Aéronautiques Émile Dewoitine[3][4] Only one plane was built, and it had its maiden journey in 1929, but due to new models being designed, it was dismantled.[5][6]
