CT4ME Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 In spite of the sluggish recovery and attacks on GA from all sides, FD is still doing well. According to the recent GAMA report, FD shipped 89 planes in 2013... up from 76 in 2012. Cubcrafters did 63. As usual, it's not worth comparing these numbers to other numbers you see, as different people count different things... sales/shipments/positions sold/registrations. I understand FD is working on increasing production, and you've seen the announcements about new, larger, facilities in Germany and NorthEast USA. Let's hope the unrest in the Ukraine doesn't hurt things. Luckily, Kiev is on the opposite side of the country. Here is the full 2013 GAMA Report Tim
FastEddieB Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Glad to see American Champion hanging in there, with 26. But I don't see how Maule, with 6, can hang in there unless they have another income stream. Did not see some of the smaller manufacturers listed. Did they not sell any, or is there some criteria to be listed?
CT4ME Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Posted February 19, 2014 GAMA doesn't report LSA sales, unless they are members... very few are.
paul m Posted May 1, 2014 Report Posted May 1, 2014 Q1 2014 numbers out. http://www.gama.aero/files/documents/2014ShipmentReport-Q1.pdf
FastEddieB Posted May 2, 2014 Report Posted May 2, 2014 Not looking any better for Maule, with zero. American Champion still cranking them out. And CT with 20 must be pleased, though those are still very low volume numbers.
FlyingMonkey Posted May 2, 2014 Report Posted May 2, 2014 Yeah, 221 piston airplanes, and almost 10% of them are CTs. Pretty good showing for Flight Design, though as Eddie says that's still a small total number.
