Classique Aviation. The distribution agreement covers the sales territory of the country of South Africa for Skyworks’ Hawk 5 Gyroplane. The agreement also comes with an LOI order for fifteen Hawk 5 aircraft. The turboprop gyroplane offers a rare selection of features that are held in much higher esteem in countries with less-developed aeronautical infrastructure. Its 450shp Allison engine allows a top speed of 159 knots, range over 865 nm, and seating for 4 pax and a pilot...with takeoff performance rivaling a VTOL.

“We are immensely excited to introduce our Hawk 5 Gyroplane to the country of South Africa. This partnership with Classique Aviation is a groundbreaking step towards revolutionizing air travel in the region. The unique merits of gyroplanes, including their versatile flying capabilities, cost-efficiency, and in the specific case of our Hawk 5, zero-runway takes-offs and landings, make them an ideal fit for the diverse landscapes and infrastructure of South Africa,” added Skyworks CEO John Michel.
