Press releaseIssued by Pipistrel d.o.o..

Pipistrel is proud to announce that recently aircraft no.800 from the Sinus/Virus family was completed. The aircraft will be shipped to the other side of the globe - to Argentina.

This occasion was an opportunity for the Pipistrel team of over 100 members to take a photo next to the aircraft.

Ivo Boscarol, the General Manager of Pipistrel d.o.o. Ajdovscina, emphasized the meaning of this success for Pipistrel: "In today's world of crisis in aviation industry it is an enormous achievement to produce 800 aircraft from the same line of products! This is a success on par with the 70's when the aviation was in the phase of its fastest development. The aircraft nowadays are produced in much smaller series, but we are going to reach and exceed the number 1000 within one year! This is now already certain due to the signed contract with Indian armed forces." This places Pipistrel in the leading position among all the producers of microlight aviation and LSA on the global scale.

This is another proof that Pipistrel's philosophy of energy efficiency, minimizing noise and consumption that we have been following for decades is correct and has now started to show its long-term results! Aviation all over the world is without doubt experiencing very fast evolution… but in Pipistrel we turned that into EcoLution!
