The Javelin Wichawk was a sporting biplane designed in the United States in the early 1970s and marketed in plans form for homebuilding. It was a conventional design with staggered single-bay wings of equal span braced with N-struts and fixed tailwheel undercarriage. The pilot and a single passenger sat side-by-side in an open cockpit but the plans made allowances for the aircraft to be built in two- or three-seat tandem configuration instead.
