After the launch of three new airplanes, Phil Solomon, CEO at Tecnam North America, described last week’s AERO Friedrichshafen as “incredibly successful,” with a total of 42 airplanes sold during the four-day event. The three airplanes announced were the 11-seat P2012, four-seat PTwenty Ten and a new version of the popular P92 Eaglet, all designed by Italian Professor Luigi Pascale.

The most popular airplane at Tecnam’s booth was the newly announced, four-seat PTwenty Ten, of which a remarkable 30 airplanes were sold. Traditionally an LSA manufacturer, Tecnam has recently focused its effort on the certified market with the announcements of the PTwenty Ten and P2012 Traveller. Solomon told Flying that both airplanes will undergo FAA Part 23 and EASA CS-23 certification concurrently.
