Magnaghi Aerospace Group (MA Group) has received Brazilian ANAC Acceptance for its SkyArrow Aircraft. The certification permits the use of SkyArrow as Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) and for pilot training in Brazil.
Magnaghi Aeronautica - MA Group is the OEM and FAA Type Certificate (TC) holder for the SkyArrow family of aircraft. The aircraft has already received EASA and FAA certification both in General Aviation (FAR 23) and LSA (Light Sport Aircraft) categories. The aircraft is also certified for use in China.
The SkyArrow FAR 23 version is mainly devoted to aerial working while LSA is used for sport and training. Out of the 220 SkyArrow aircraft that are already flying worldwide, 30 are certified and equipped with aerial working devices.
Magnaghi, which specializes in the design, certification and production of landing gear systems, aerostructures, equipment, hydraulic and electronic systems, has been part of the industry since 1936 an dhas formed enduring partnerships with many major aircraft manufacturers. The company has three offices in Italy, two in the United States, and one each in Brazil and the United Kingdom.
As the only single engine FAA FAR 23 manned certified aerial platform in its category, SkyArrow, which can be fully linked, real-time, to aerial and ground operation centers, is capable of being utilized for multiple commercial and military missions. The aircraft is ideally suited for all applications that require the aggregation and fusion of real-time data from the sky, and the surveillance and intercept of ground or flying assets. SkyArrow can also deploy on-board weapon systems.
A next generation manned version of SkyArrow (SkyArrow 710NG), as well as an unmanned version (SkyArrow Ulysses 1000) are also approaching certification, and once certified, will complement existing versions such as SkyArrow 650 TCNS.
According to the company, SkyArrow’s manned capabilities, low acquisition costs and minimal operating costs provide operators with a better and more economically feasible option than UAS systems, helicopters or other fixed wing aircraft. SkyArrow can be used effectively in post-hurricane and fire detection scenarios, providing an essential real-time “eye-in-the-sky,” officials says. SkyArrow’s role in precision agricultural mapping provides a solution that is one quarter of the cost of a drone alternative, and a fraction of the cost of other helicopter or fixed-wing configurations.
Among the other potential uses of SkyArrow are for law enforcement, border and coastline security, early forest fire detection, emergency rescue support, environmental services, air quality monitoring, oil & gas industry infrastructure surveillance, electricity grids/distribution networks surveillance, climate monitoring, crop dusting support, aerial photography, mapping and surveying, as well as traffic monitoring and reporting.
