Overview
Alisport srl is an Italian manufacturer of light aircraft headquartered in Cremella, Italy. The firm focuses on engineering and producing kit aircraft for amateur builders, as well as ready-to-fly models that comply with the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight standards. Their product range also includes sailplanes and aircraft propellers.
Operations and Facilities
Operating from a single manufacturing complex, Alisport encompasses three aviation divisions dedicated to different product lines: the Silent series of sailplanes, microlight short takeoff and landing (STOL) airplanes, and the Idrovario propeller brand. The facility is equipped with advanced multi-axis computer numerical control milling equipment, composite material curing ovens, and environmentally conscious paint booths.
Product Lineup
Among Alisport’s offerings is the Alisport Yuma, a two-seat STOL microlight available as a kit for home assembly. The Silent series consists of gliders and motorgliders, which come in several configurations: pure sailplanes without engines, self-launching motorgliders powered by fuel-injected piston engines, and electric self-launching variants utilizing Lithium-ion battery technology.
Industry Note
It has been noted by Zenith Aircraft that the Yuma model resembles their own Zenith STOL CH 701, which they regard as an unauthorized reproduction.
