Czech Sport Aircraft is pleased to announce that the PS-28 Cruiser has won the prestigious Aerokurier Innovation Award 2014 in the category of Aircraft Of The Future. The award was presented to Czech Sport Aircraft this afternoon on the company’s exhibition stand at Aero Friedrichshafen 2014. The readers of Aerokurier have recognised the PS-28 Cruiser as the most innovative aircraft of the future within its respective category.
Upon receiving the award, Martin Jurík, Chief Executive Officer Czech Sport Aircraft, said, “Czech Sport Aircraft is honoured to be receiving this award today. This is without doubt a great testimony and credit to the hard work and effort that has been put in over the years by Czech Sport Aircraft engineers. The company is very much committed to innovation and the technological enhancements announced this morning certainly confirms that. We intend to further strengthen the position of the aircraft on the market and we thank Aerokurier and its readers for the recognition they have given to the PS-28 Cruiser.”
Commenting after handing over the award to Czech Sport Aircraft, Volker K. Thomalla, Editor-in-Chief Aerokurier, said, “The PS-28 Cruiser is very much here and available on the market today, however, the perception of our readers is that this aircraft demonstrates innovation potential and for this reason was the winner in this category. The PS-28 Cruiser is a strong recognised brand and is clearly having huge success in the flight training segment of the market. Of course, I am just the messenger and this is the opinion of our qualified readers.”
This new achievement on the recognition given to the PS-28 Cruiser last year at Aero Friedrichshafen 2013 when the aircraft won the prestigious Flieger Magazin Award 2013 in the category of EURO-LSA, acknowledging the PS-28 Cruiser as the best Light Sport Aircraft in Europe.
The PS-28 Cruiser is a double-seat aircraft of full metal construction. The aircraft is arranged as a low-wing mono-plane with cantilevered wings and conventional empennage. The PS-28 Cruiser is type certified by EASA for VFR Day operations according to the CS-LSA certification regulation and can be fully commercially operated in EASA countries or in countries where the PS-28 Cruiser obtained local CAA type certification.
Due to its advanced flight performance and robust construction, the PS-28 Cruiser is gaining recognition as the new EASA-certified aircraft of choice for both basic and advanced flight training. The simplified maintenance procedures and low operational costs associated with the aircraft makes the PS-28 Cruiser undoubtedly the most cost effective solution for flight schools around the world.
Currently a total of over 500 PS-28 Cruiser and SportCruiser have been produced. Over 200 aircraft are operating in the USA and almost 200 aircraft are operating in Europe where the company is enjoying significant sales success. Due to its robust construction, ease of maintenance and superior flight characteristics, the PS-28 Cruiser is the perfect platform for basic and advanced flight training, air clubs, basic military training, recreational use and air tourism.
The PS-38 Tourer is the first step in the evolution of the Czech Sport Aircraft product family based on the market-leading PS-28 Cruiser that has already firmly established itself as the benchmark new-generation aircraft for flight training in Europe. The PS-38 Tourer is a single engine, all-metal, high-wing monoplane of semi-monocoque structure with two side-by-side seats currently in development. Czech Sport Aircraft is evaluating type certification of the PS-38 Tourer according to either the CS-VLA or ELA 1 certification regulation in Europe and expects the aircraft to satisfy demand for a new-generation, cost-effective, multi-application high-wing solution for cross-country flying, air tourism and law enforcement operations.
