Single-seat sports aircraft designed as a homebuilt aircraft by Orland Corben in 1935

Pober Super Ace General information Type sports aircraft National origin US Manufacturer Acro Sport Designer Orland Corben

The **Pober Super Ace** was a single-seat sports aircraft designed as a [homebuilt aircraft](/source/Homebuilt_aircraft) by [Orland Corben](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orland_Corben&action=edit&redlink=1) in [1935](/source/1935_in_aviation). Originally the "Corben Super Ace,"[1] it was an evolution of the [Corben Baby Ace](/source/Ace_Baby_Ace), and closely linked with it throughout their existence.[2]

It was a single-seat [parasol wing](/source/Parasol_wing) monoplane of conventional [tailwheel](/source/Conventional_landing_gear) configuration. As published, the plans called for an engine from a [Ford Model A](/source/Ford_Model_A_(1927-1931)) (some say [Ford Model B](/source/Ford_Model_B_(1932))[2][1]) to be modified to power the aircraft.

A set of plans and construction articles appeared in *[Popular Aviation](/source/Popular_Aviation)* between April and October 1935 and were later marketed by [Orland Corben](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orland_Corben&action=edit&redlink=1).

Rights to the aircraft were sold to [Paul Poberezny](/source/Paul_Poberezny) with the rest of the Corben company's assets. Plans are currently[\[update\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pober_Super_Ace&action=edit) offered for sale by [Acro Sport](/source/Acro_Sport).
