Volato Aeronaves also known as Volato Aeronaves e Compósitos Ltda is a Brazilian aircraft manufacturer. [1]
The founders of the company, Zizo Sola and Marcos Vilela, worked with Richard Allen Trickel Jr. in the USA in the 1990s. [1] [2] Richard Allen Trickel Jr. was the designer of the KIS 2, KIS 4, KIS Cruiser, Super Pulsar and Pulsar Super Cruiser aircraft, of which more than 300 were built. [3] [4] The idea of founding an experimental aircraft factory in Brazil arose from this collaboration. Together they first developed the Volato 400, a modern four-seater made of composite materials. They are currently working on a further development of the machine, the Volato 200, a two-seater. [5]
The company also produces composite parts for Embraer. [2]
