Magnaghi Aeronautica to introduce two new Sky Arrow models

Magnaghi Aeronautica, the new owner/manufacturer of the Sky Arrow series of light aircraft, will introduce two new models during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2012. Magnaghi will hold a press conference at its exhibit, Space 71, across from the LSA Mall at 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday, July 24.

The Sky Arrow is an all-composite, high-wing tandem aircraft powered by a Rotax 912S engine in a pusher configuration. It was first introduced in 1993 by Meteor S.p.A., which fell into bankruptcy in 2008. Magnaghi Aeronautica acquired the manufacturing rights and assets to the Sky Arrow in early 2012.

The Sky Arrow was created as a low-cost, high-visibility aerial work platform, designed and used for patrol, law enforcement, environmental research, and electronic news gathering. Magnaghi Aeronautica will announce updates to the Sky Arrow design as part of the two new models being introduced.
