Farnborough Director Adrian Norris Updates ANN on the Kestrel Aircraft
Conceived as a new chapter in business aircraft, the Kestrel represents the application of advanced aerodynamics combined with state-of-the-art carbon-fibre composite construction. Developed by the British company, Farnborough Aircraft, the Kestrel made its first flight in July of 2006. Finally, at the Farnborough Air Show in 2008, the aircraft made its debut for European aviation enthusiasts. After Farnborough Aircraft came under new ownership at the beginning of 2009, the company has re-dedicated itself to seeking full certification of the Kestrel.
