Tecnam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam is an aeronautics manufacturer based near Naples in Italy. The company has two primary activities: It makes aircraft parts for other manufacturers and it makes its own range of light aircraft.
The typically Tecnam aircraft currently (2006) in production is a side by side two seater of aluminium monocoque construction with a 100 hp Rotax 912S engine. There are several models manufactured, high and low wing, some with retractable undercarriage. In some cases one model has two different designations: One for flight under the ultralight aviation regulations and the other for flight under general aviation regulations as a regular certified light aircraft. Many of the aircraft fall within new sub-categories of certified aircraft. E.g. the EASA VLA (very light aircraft) rules in Europe and LSA rules in the USA.
Models include the high wing Tecnam P92 and the low wing Tecnam P2002.
A four seater aircraft, the Tecnam P2006T, has been announced. It will have two 100 hp Rotax engines.
