Ivanov Aero sro, also known as Ivanov Aircraft, was a Czech-based aircraft producer located in Hradec Králové, established by Marek Ivanov. The firm concentrated on designing and manufacturing ultralight aircraft available both as kits for amateur builders and fully assembled, ready-to-fly models.
The enterprise appears to have been established around 2008 and ceased operations by 2016.
Structured as a Společnost s ručením omezeným (sro), it functioned as a Czech private limited company.
Ivanov Aero’s main project was the development and production of the Ivanov ZJ-Viera, a single-seat ultralight constructed primarily from composite materials. Aviation reviewer Marino Boric, in a 2015 evaluation, praised the aircraft, noting it represented "the revival of ultralight flying with a modern twist! Affordable due to its straightforward design combined with advanced all-composite construction...this plane is poised to become an iconic model."
Distribution of the ZJ-Viera in the United States, targeting both the FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles category and the light-sport aircraft segment, was handled by another Czech manufacturer, InterPlane Aircraft based in Zbraslavice, until that company ceased trading in late 2013.
In addition to manufacturing, Ivanov Aero offered services including design research and engineering, technical documentation, structural testing, prototyping, aircraft maintenance and repairs, as well as production of aircraft components.
