XtremeAir GmbH was a German-based aircraft manufacturer situated in Cochstedt, Germany, established by Harro Moewes in December 2005. The firm focused on creating and producing aerobatic aircraft that were type-certified.[1][2]

Personnel

Around 50 staff members were employed by the company. Qing Liu served as the final CEO while Waldemar Sawenko held the position of Quality Manager.[2] The Sbach aircraft series was the design work of Philipp Steinbach.[1]

History

By December 2006, XtremeAir had relocated to a purpose-built manufacturing facility spanning 2,400 square metres (26,000 sq ft) at the Magdeburg–Cochstedt Airport.[2]

The Sbach 300 model was piloted to victory in a German national unlimited class aerobatic competition.[1]

In 2018, ownership of XtremeAir transferred to the Chinese company Zair Aerospace, which is based in Wuhan.[3]

The enterprise entered liquidation proceedings in March 2021.[4]
