Get a load of this....Cessna LSA built in China
Cessna Aircraft Co. says the Shenyang Aircraft Corp. will build the company's newest model airplane, the 162 Skycatcher light sport aircraft.
Cessna Chairman, President and CEO Jack Pelton says light sport aircraft need the latest avionics, light-weight equipment, must be safe and reliable and be competitively priced.
"Our solution is to partner with SAC, a company with excellent facilities, state-of-the-art technologies and a workforce highly experienced in aircraft manufacturing," Pelton says.
Cessna is a subsidiary of the Textron Co. (NYSE: TXT). SAC is a subsidiary of China Aviation Industry Corp. 1. It is a government-owned group of aviation manufacturers.
Cessna will design the Skycatcher. It will also conduct testing and send employees to the SAC plant to oversee the manufacturing process. The airplanes will be assembled at the SAC plant in China.
