Chinese GA manufacturer
 

There's a lot of noise about these, but very difficult to find any hard information (I'm not including Cirrus in this).

Anyone know an actual company, making an actual plane?

Here's a GA plane and engine manufacturer owned by the Chinese.

Thanks PB but... :-)

1. Progressive are US (where's the China link)?
2. Conti are 'now' Chinese, but not making planes?

Got to love the red pen effect!

There is the Chinese version of the Sportcruiser. It was going to be imported into the UK a few years ago as the SC3D but it never happened. I now see it has had a name change.

I saw the Skytrek at Oshkosh in 2016. It wasn't flying because it had not yet been certified in the US.

Also saw my friend Phil, who is the factory test-pilot and who is flying in the video posted by SF.

The aircraft was shipped to Seattle and then he and his team trailered it from Seattle - nearly 2000 miles!

This should give you a start point.

Mooney is now Chinese owned also and whilst they're doing the D,T&E in the USA, production will be in China.

Conti, Mooney, Cirrus and ... wasn't the Cessna 162 manufactured in China? My best guess, before my life ends, what survives the GA genozide of western culture, will fly chinese aircraft.

Don't know if that counts, but an ultralight manufacturer whose product I was trying to push recently sold its production rights to a Chinese company.
