Design and development

In 2003 the project was started, with the participation of numerous engineers and students. The wing and empennage assembly was first made of wood for the aerodynamic testing process. The fuselage was made of steel tubes, welded with the gas tungsten arc welding process.

The airplane has received a Lycoming engine, and its propellers are from MT-Propeller, and the avionics are from Harman Becker Automotive Systems. FIBRAER, a Brazilian aeronautical company, supplied all the hardware.

The first flight took place in Conselheiro Lafaiete, on August 5, 2009. [5]
