Octans Aircraft is a Brazilian manufacturer of light aircraft, located at São João da Boa Vista, São Paulo. [1] [2]
The origins of Octans Aircraft date to 2002, when INPAER (Portuguese: Indústria Paulista de Aeronáutica) was founded as a light aircraft manufacturer, producing more than 240 light sport aircraft. [3] In 2013, banker Milton Roberto Pereira bought a third of the shares in the company and focused the company on the type certified aircraft market. [4] Investments resulted in the modernisation of the company's plant and adopting Siemens Digital Industries Software to speed product development and certification. [1] [2] [5]
Following the restructuring in 2017, the company was renamed Octans Aircraft and a new light aircraft project was announced, the 300A. It was later renamed the Octans Cygnus. [1] [2] In early 2018, Octans Aircraft announced that it has sold INPAER's previous design rights to a former owner. [6] The first Cygnus prototype was completed and the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil certification process commenced, with deliveries forecast for the second half of 2021. [1] [7]
