Are alkylidene cycloalkanes planar molecules?

enter image description here

Above is an Alkylidene Cycloalkane. Its structure closely resembles that of allenes. enter image description here

According to my knowledge, allenes are non-planar molecules due to the two $\pi$-bonds being formed on almost perpendicular planes.

So due to the similarity in structures and optical activity, are Alkylidene Cycloalkanes also non-planar?
