Tecnam Aircraft, a prominent name in European general aviation manufacturing, was founded in 1986 by brothers Luigi and Giovanni Pascale. Originally established as an aircraft part supplier for large manufacturers like Boeing, the company shifted focus in the 1990s towards producing its own aircraft, starting with the Tecnam P92. Since then, Tecnam has produced over 5,000 aircraft.
The Tecnam P92 was introduced in 1993 after its maiden flight in March of that year. The aircraft is known for its strut-braced high-wing configuration and fixed landing gear. It can carry two crew members and has been widely used by flight schools and private pilots globally.
Another significant model from Tecnam is the P2006, which first flew in September 2007 and received certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in 2008. This light twin-engine aircraft stands out for its efficiency compared to traditional regional planes.
