Historic TECNAM Helps Present USSAE2014 Coverage

Tecnam's History Provides A View To The Future! 

Tecnam traces its origins back to 1948 and the first aircraft designed and built by the Pascale brothers, Luigi and Giovanni. Sixty six years later, the “Professore” – Luigi Pascale, continues to design beautiful, but highly functional aircraft such as the award winning P2008, P2010 and the much awaited Astore, low wing replacement for the class leading Tecnam Sierra P2002.

As well as being a fully approved supplier to the commercial aviation sector, Tecnam has produced around 4,000 light aircraft propelling it to world leadership in the Light Sport eligible market. With active sales in over 60 countries supported by more than 100 service centers, Tecnam’s passion for aviation has spread across the globe like wildfire.

Not satisfied with leadership in the Light Sport eligible arena, Tecnam also produces the fastest selling fully certified twin, the P2006T, that is transforming flight school economics worldwide. Tecnam will also soon be delivering the P2010 four seat, fully certified single to its flight school and private customers as the only new design in the high wing market from a major manufacturer of certified aircraft.

No other LSA manufacturer offers customers as wide a variety of models and options with everything from the super economical Echo Classic Light at $74,900 to the luxurious P2008 turbo starting at $170,380 with tail dragger, high wing/low wing, amphib/float planes rounding out this extraordinary range.

At the Sebring Expo 2014, check out the brand new P2008 Turbo that comes fully loaded with the latest Garmin technology and the capability to maintain a full 120 KIAS cruise at altitude, the go-anywhere, elegant, SeaSky Amphib, the frugal and fun loving Echo classic Light (use 87 unleaded gas) or attend a seminar starting at 9:30 each day that looks at the whole Tecnam world in more depth.
