What We Do

Configurations use 7- and 9-cylinder Verner radial engines delivering up to 150 hp and torque up to 485 Nm, paired with custom 6-blade ground-adjustable propellers. Autogyros are engineered for off-airport, remote operations and hot-and-high conditions.

• Global Aviation Partnership: Dual operations in the UK and South Africa providing engineering, safety and technical support through experienced engineers and established industry partners.
