Default Pipistrel unveils new light aircraft

The Ajdovscina (Slovenia) based company unveils the Panthera. A new class of light aircraft.




The sexy design was in development for five years and with co-operation with Seaway (which means I was a part of it ) costed 14 million euros.

Range about 1800 km, top speed 400 km/h and fuel consumption 30 litres per hour this 4-seater is bound to be another succes story in this company led by Ivo Boscarol.

Another Slovene succes story, about a world renowned company forced to to relocate to Italy because of the tax policy and ''shun the non-union non party affiliated entrepeneur'' ways of running our economy

Damn... IO-390 turning out 200 knots on 10 gph ff is nice.


It is a slippery looking bird.

Put some bigger wheels and a rack with some SDBs and we got a neat little COIN aircraft.

Maybe I can get this one cheaper since someone bumped into it and bent the wing tip?



That is one sleek looking aeroplane.

very nice but im just not all that secure with that skinny rear end, I just would like to see a little bit more size to the rear fuselage because it looks like a weak point being that small even though im sure its not

I doubt anyone's fears will come true.

Ivo Boscarol wouldn't send out a product until he crashed a truck into it's tail and droped it from the production hall roof to se if the gears will handle the stress.

I should realy make a thread about him
