Vulcanair: aircraft manufacturer

For several years now, Vulcanair has established itself as one of the best manufacturers in the global aerospace sector.
What does Vulcanair owe its reputation in the field of business aviation?

The history of aircraft manufacturer Vulcanair
The aircraft manufacturer, Vulcanair, was founded in 1996 in Italy. Vulcanair’s first strategy was to acquire all assets, drawings, trademarks, and rights from Partenavia. Partenavia was founded in Naples in 1949. At the time, Partenavia was considered one of the pillars of aviation. Indeed, this Italian aircraft manufacturer built planes that even today have marked the history of the aerospace sector. Despite the excellence of its work and its knowledge of the aviation sector, the company disappeared around 1998. Vulcanair did not stop there. The company continued to purchase rights, tools, as well as the famous SF600 series program from the Italian manufacturer Siai Marchetti. Siai Marchetti was a well-known Italian manufacturer during the years 1920-1940. Founded in Milan, this company had great success with its civil seaplanes. After this period of glory, the company joined the public Italian aviation group Aermacchi. Vulcanair’s first strategy was therefore to build a solid initial base of knowledge and tools through manufacturers already recognized worldwide. The legacy of Partenavia and Siai Marchetti was rich in innovative and efficient tools, a very functional organization, and an excellent team of engineers. This heritage allowed Vulcanair to quickly provide constant stocks of aircraft, as well as to improve them. But above all, it enabled them to establish themselves as a large aerospace manufacturer at the forefront of technology, recognized worldwide.

The fleet of aircraft manufacturer Vulcanair
– V1 (single-piston):
This plane was designed to replicate the capabilities of a bird: light, high wings, elegant. The V1 is one of the most comfortable aircraft on the market and continues to improve each year thanks to the expertise of Vulcanair engineers. This aircraft can operate on natural gas and with alternative fuels. To give the customer a choice, Vulcanair offers to sell the aircraft with either a constant pitch propeller or a fixed pitch propeller depending on the customer’s needs and uses. In addition to being a high-performance aircraft, it is also comfortable. It has a spacious cabin composed of four seats.

– P.68C (twin-piston)
This aircraft is an alternative to light twin-engine and single-engine planes. It is one of the easiest planes to use. It ensures exceptional flight thanks to its spacious cabin, robust brakes, and unmatched stability.

– P.68C VR (twin-piston-retractable)
A bit like the previous one, the P.68 VR can be viewed as an alternative to twin-engine aircraft. It is a fast and light aircraft, intended for private flights and training flights. It also features a rather spacious and sophisticated cabin that could appeal to many people.

– P.69 OBSERVER 2 (twin-piston)
This aircraft is known for having a unique and sophisticated design. Whether for pilots or passengers, its design allows each of them to enjoy an unobstructed view throughout the flight. The interior of the aircraft is also sophisticated and spacious, allowing users to enjoy the flight in complete tranquility. If you want to treat yourself to a business jet and take your first flight, this is surely one of the best aircraft available.

– P.68C TC (twin-piston-turboprop)
This aircraft is quite recent. It was designed to fly in demanding or even dangerous areas in terms of altitude. It is also very powerful and maneuverable, allowing pilots to land or even fly in challenging areas.

– P.68TC OBSERVER
Like the aircraft we just discussed, this aircraft is very effective for flying at high altitude. Its engine allows it to be the most efficient in its class in terms of speed, duration, and endurance.

– A-VIATOR (AP.68TP-600)
The A-VIATOR is the solution to problems related to the costs of twin-engine planes. This aircraft is a twin-engine turboprop that allows for a wide range of tasks. Indeed, it can be used for private flights but also for mission flights (surveillance, military…). It is also a meticulously designed aircraft that can accommodate up to 9 passengers and 2 pilots.
Finally, Vulcanair has a fairly varied and high-quality fleet that allows it to maintain its reputation in the aviation sector. These 7 aircraft all have different characteristics that make them sophisticated and high-performing aircraft.

The special missions of aircraft manufacturer Vulcanair
The mission of the P68 OBSERVER
With its P68 OBSERVER, Vulcanair gives users the opportunity to make private flights, air taxiing, or observation. The design of this aircraft allows pilots and passengers to have an unobstructed view of the entire landscape. This feature enables it to be used for patrol inspections and observations. One might think that this aircraft is similar to a helicopter, especially due to its excellent visibility. However, the costs associated with helicopters are higher.
In concrete terms, this aircraft is a reference. The first positive point is that it requires low maintenance and thus incurs low maintenance costs. It is also very durable due to its anti-corrosion aluminum construction. Finally, it is an easily maneuverable, fast, and very comfortable aircraft. Its design guarantees exceptional flight hours for passengers.
Ultimately, with this aircraft, Vulcanair can fulfill various types of missions: control, patrol, observation, emergency, passenger transport, cargo transport.

The mission of the A-VIATOR
With this aircraft, the A-VIATOR, Vulcanair ensures satisfaction for clients seeking excellence and low operating costs.
It is a derivative of the P68. It is a fast aircraft thanks to its retractable landing gear, which allows it to increase its range significantly. It features a spacious cabin that can accommodate up to 9 passengers. It is a versatile aircraft that requires low maintenance costs, allows for landings on short runways, emits low noise levels, and possesses exceptional versatility.
In summary, these two aircraft enable Vulcanair to fulfill multiple missions and to retain more and more clients.
