    A digraph is \emph{traceable} if it has a path that visits every vertex. A digraph DD is \emph{hypotraceable} if DD is not traceable but D−vD−v is traceable for every vertex v∈V(D)v∈V(D). It is known that there exists a planar hypotraceable digraph of order nn for every n≥7n≥7, but no examples of planar hypotraceable oriented graphs (digraphs without 2-cycles) have yet appeared in the literature. We show that there exists a planar hypotraceable oriented graph of order nn for every even n≥10n≥10, with the possible exception of n=14n=14.
