The Pober Super Ace was a single-seat sports aircraft designed as a homebuilt aircraft by Orland Corben in 1935. A set of plans and construction articles appeared in Popular Aviation between April and October that year and were later marketed by Orland Corben.
It was a single-seat parasol wing monoplane of conventional tailwheel configuration. As published, the plans called for an engine from a Ford Model A to be modified to power the aircraft.
Rights to the aircraft were sold to Paul Poberezny with the rest of the Corben company's assets. Plans are currently[update] offered for sale by Acro Sport.
