Aeronáutica Industrial S.A. represents a Spanish aerospace firm whose origins trace back to the earlier enterprise Talleres Loring, established by Jorge Loring in 1923.
History
The original company was founded by Jorge Loring Martinez in Cuatro Vientos near Madrid in 1924.[1] In 1934, Aeronáutica Industrial S.A. was officially formed, and throughout the 20th century, it produced various light aircraft models, including Cierva autogyro designs.
In 1954, AISA acquired the Spanish aircraft manufacturer Iberavia, taking over the development of the I-11 light aircraft project and ultimately manufacturing approximately 400 units. The company also focused for a period on helicopter maintenance and modernization. In 1982, it endeavored to introduce its own autogyro model, the GN, but this effort did not achieve commercial success.
The firm was integrated into CASA in 1995; nevertheless, it has continued operations under its original name.
