Re: CAT sold the Express design and assets

Any news if anyone or any organization even if Chinese will support express aircraft or sell new airframes and maybe have a builder assist program?

Re: New owner of a project.

Congrats on the purchase.

Re: Saw this on Barnstormers today.

I wonder if this was the same Chinese company that bought the Glassair designed assets? Then they would have 2 seater and 4 seater vinyl ester products with similar designs.

CAT had no cad files, only forms and plugs.

CAT sold the Express design and assets

Re: Saw this on Barnstormers today.

CAT sold the Express design and assets to a Chinese company. Everything got packed up, including the remaining demo, stuffed in a container and shipped to China. I wonder if it is the same group that purchased the Glassair assets. Are they going for vinyl ester domination?
