ORLIČAN

ORLIČAN s.r.o. designs and builds composite light aircraft. Its current model is the M-8 EAGLE, offered with Rotax or EPA engines, a fixed landing gear, and a floatplane variant. The website states the company holds EASA certificate CZ.21G.0060 for certified airplane production and gives a warranty of 100 flight hours or 2 years.

The company sells aircraft to pilots, with individual configuration (from avionics to colour details) offered after consultation. The website describes support through a web interface. The site does not describe the revenue model in more detail.

The company traces its origins to 1935, when Beneš and Mráz founded the works, and it was renamed Orličan in 1955. The website says the company was re-founded in autumn 2014, and the registry lists 2014-11-05 as its founding date. Production is located in Ústí nad Orlicí, where the company is hiring for composite assembly, TIG welding, mechanical fitting and avionics roles on a single-shift schedule.
