It is not often that a fully aerobatic airplane is certified. But just this week the team at Bentonville, Arkansas-based Game Composites saw their GB1 GameBird receive its certification. The FAA signed the Part 23 paperwork yesterday — about four months after the European Aviation Safety Agency gave its approval.
Game Composites GB1 GameBird Achieves FAA Certification
Key Takeaways:
- The GB1 GameBird, a fully aerobatic airplane from Game Composites, recently received FAA certification, following its earlier approval from EASA.
- The aircraft achieved certification in a remarkably short four years, a process that typically takes manufacturers at least a decade.
- The GameBird is highly versatile, capable of unlimited aerobatics (±10 G, 400 deg/sec roll) yet can also be quickly configured for stable, long-range cross-country flights (1,000 nm range) by adjusting its center of gravity.
