Aero AT (Aero Ltd.) Aero AT Sp.z o.o. Type - Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością Industry - Aerospace Founded - 1994 Founder - Tomasz Antoniewski Headquarters - Warsaw, Poland Products - Ultralight aircraft Website - www.aero.com.pl Aero AT Sp.z o.o. is a Polish light aircraft manufacturer founded by Tomasz Antoniewski in Warsaw in 1994. It is unrelated to the Czech Aero company. The company is organized as a Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością (Sp.z o.o.), a Polish private limited company. The company was founded to develop and market a two-seat aircraft specifically for the flight training and touring market. The result of this venture was the Aero AT-3, type certified by European Aviation Safety Agency in May 1999 under the EASA CS-VLA rules, only the sixth aircraft type to receive this certification. The first five production aircraft were delivered to customers in 2002. A version for the light-sport aircraft market was accepted by the Federal Aviation Administration and marketed as the Gobosh 700 in the United States. Aircraft Aero AT-1 Aero AT-2 P220S Aero AT-3 (1997) - Single-engine two-seat low-wing Very Light Aircraft (VLA) with fixed tricycle undercarriage. Marketed in Europe in two versions - the SK (Standard Kit) and the R100. The Gobosh 700S is a version marketed in the U.S. Aero AT-3S (S for Sport) was launched at the Aero Friedrichshafen 2017. Weighing just 600 kg, it is a refined variant of the AT-4. Aero AT-4 Aero AT-1 AT-1 Role - Utility aircraft National origin - Poland Manufacturer - Aero AT Designer - Tomasz Antoniewski First flight - 9 December 1990 (official) Status - In production Number built - 1 The Aero AT-1, a.k.a. Antoniewski AT-1, is a two-seat, low wing, ultra-light sport aircraft, developed by Tomasz Antoniewski, manufactured in Poland by Aero AT in ready-to-fly certificated form and as a kitplane. Design and development Antoniewski designed the AT-1, using the Jodel D.9 Bébé as a starting point, for his diploma thesis at the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering of the Warsaw University of Technology. Retaining most of the fuselage structure, the wings were replaced with shortened SZD-30 Pirat wings of 10.6 m (35 ft) span. The 50 kg (110 lb) heavier wings required structural modifications to the fuselage and the adoption of undercarriage legs from a PZL-126 Mrówka, main landing gear wheels from the SZD-51 Junior and tail landing gear from the PZL-104 Wilga. Construction began at Yalo in 1987 and by December 1989 the aircraft was almost ready, with only the engine covers missing, painting and other small parts required. The first short flights over Bemowo airport were carried out then. A proper, but still unofficial, flight was carried out in July 1990, but it was not until 9 December 1990 that the first AT-1 was officially flown by Maciej Aksler. The AT-1 is a single-seat wooden low wing monoplane, with fabric and plywood skinning. Initially flown with an open cockpit a canopy was later installed. Controls are entirely conventional, including a small fin with large rudderand similar construction to the wings. The tailwheel undercarriage has single leaf main undercarriage legs. Operational history Initially used as intended, for recreational flying, the AT-1 was also used for banner-towing and forest fire-patrol from 1993 to 1996. The original AT-1 is currently stationed at the Pilski Aero Club.

Acquisition by Jiangsu LanTian Aerospace Industrial Park of China In April 2013, the manufacturer of the AT-3 VLA and AT-4 LSA aircraft, Aero AT Sp. z o.o. was acquired by Jiangsu LanTian Aerospace Industrial Park of China. While production for the European and US markets is to remain in Mielec, Poland, a new assembly facility is being developed in China for the local Chinese Market. In early 2014 plans included production of more than 100 aircraft for Chinese customers by the end of 2015. Operational history The first Aero AT-3s were supplied to the Aeroclub of Warsaw in Poland in the early 2000s. The first sales outside Poland were to the UK in 2004 (a total of 16 AT-3s have since been sold to the UK). The aircraft has also proved popular in France with a similar number of sales. Further examples operate in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Spain and Hungary.
