The AVIC Leadair AG300, previously called Primus 150, built by the China Aviation Industry General Aircraft, is a development of the Epic LT aircraft built using the international rights to Epic Aircraft bought in bankruptcy in 2010. As part of the settlement, Epic retained its rights for American construction and support of its aircraft, creating two divergent lines.[1][2]
Design and development
China Aviation Industry General Aircraft (CAIGA) is in the process of developing the Epic LT into the Primus 150 for commercial construction. The aircraft is a five-seat low-wing tricycle-gear pressurized turboprop.[3]
