Tecnam Aircraft

S.R.L. Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam (http://www.tecnam.com/) was founded in 1986 by F.lli Pascale.  The company is located in an area adjacent to the International Airport of Napoli-Capodichino with an establishment measuring over 11000 square meters. A second establishment is located in Castelvolturno and features the final assembly line, and a flight field where flight tests are carried out.

The Company's interests are divided into two main activities: The first pertains to the construction and assembly of structural components for commercial aviation; among these components are the tailplanes for the ATR 42/72, fuselage panels for Douglas and Boeing, parts of the G222, tailplanes and moving surfaces for the SF260, fuselage elements for the P68, helicopter components for Agusta, and other parts for LearJet, Falcon, Dornier, etc. The Company has obtained official qualification for the use of all above mentioned equipment and is ISO 9002 certified by Alenia, Aeronavali, Aermacchi, Agusta and, for what concerns special processes, also by Douglas/Boeing. Furthermore, the Company is certified by the Registro Aeronautico Italiano (cit. n. 1004/c) with regards to the production of aircraft certified. The other sector of activity pertains, in fact, to the design and manufacture of prototypes and production units for light or ultralight aviation. Since 1992, Tecnam, drawing on an uncommon field experience of their founders, has entered this market internationally with noteworthy results. The distribution network of Tecnam aircraft can rely today on dealers in all major countries.  The Company's strategy is particularly dedicated on investing resources in research and development with the aim of continued refinement and upgrading of its products.

Why are Tecnam Aircraft respected worldwide?  The answer is simple.  A passion for aviation that has translated into a burning desire to build the best product in the market.  Tecnam drew from a deep well of knowledge gained through years of certified aircraft production. They used that knowledge to  produce efficient, robust light aircraft.  These world renowned light aircraft are now available in the US market as S-LSA aircraft, thanks to the EAA and many others.
