Storm Aircraft, also known as the StormAircraft Group, is an Italian aerospace company headquartered in Sabaudia. The firm focuses on developing and manufacturing kit aircraft and microlight aircraft, mainly serving the European market, alongside providing subcontracting services for producers of larger airplanes.[1][2]
Initially established as SG Aviation srl, the business later rebranded to Storm Aircraft to enhance its brand identity. Its kit planes are primarily constructed using techniques involving aluminum sheet metal and fibreglass.[1][2]
On 3 November 2021, the Tunisian aviation company Avionav completed the acquisition of Storm Aircraft.[3]
History
Established in 1981 by a collaboration of French and Italian aerospace engineers under the name SG Aviation, the company undertook subcontracting projects such as manufacturing the Aermacchi MB-339's empennage components and mechanical units for Martin-Baker ejection seat systems. It has also been involved in producing cold section components for engine nacelles, including inlets, fan cowls, and interfaces between electronic box units and engines.[4]
To date, the enterprise has delivered more than 1,200 kit and fully assembled aircraft to clients across 20 nations.[4]
