Thruster Air Services was a UK-based aircraft manufacturer situated in Langworth, Lincolnshire. The firm concentrated on designing and producing ultralight aircraft, offering ready-to-fly models compliant with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight standards.[1][2]
History
Established in Camelford, Cornwall during the mid-1980s, the company initially manufactured the Thruster TST alongside the Thruster T300. By the mid-1990s, production had shifted to the Thruster T600 Sprint, which underwent continual enhancements over subsequent years. Ownership transferred to Stephen Turley and Gerald Cooper in late 2006, followed by a relocation to Wickenby Aerodrome in Lincolnshire during summer 2007.[3]
As of July 2021, the company is recorded as "dormant." Its website domain is available for purchase, with no current public information regarding its operational status.[4]
