Development

In an interview with the newspaper Izvestia, S7 Group founder Vladislav Filev announced the creation of a four-seater composite aircraft, as well as accompanying piston engine. [2]

On 21 September 2024, the first flight of a prototype Tango aircraft took place at the S7 Group's airfield at Torbeyevo, located south of Moscow. [3] The flight was conducted by test pilot Vladimir Barsuk from the Chaplygin Siberian Scientific Research Institute Of Aviation (SibNIA). While the production engine remains in development, a Belgian ULPower Aero Engines UL520iS was used as a substitute.
