Tecnam

Tecnam is an Italian aircraft manufacturer based in Capua, Campania, that designs and builds light general-aviation aircraft for civil use. The company focuses on two- and four-seat airplanes intended for training, private flying, and light commercial roles. Tecnam's products are designed for economical operation and ease of maintenance, with modern avionics options and metal- or composite-airframe construction.

Tecnam was founded by aviation designer Luigi Pascale in the late 1980s. The company built its reputation by developing simple, robust light aircraft that could be marketed internationally. It operates a network of distributors and service centers worldwide and maintains manufacturing and development facilities in Italy, with regional offices to support customers in North America and other regions.

The Tecnam product line has included several notable families. The P-92 Echo is a two-seat, high-wing trainer that has seen use in flight schools and private fleets. The P-2002 Sierra is a four-seat, high-wing light aircraft intended for general aviation and training. The P-2006T is a twin-engine, four-seat light airliner designed for certified operations and training roles. The company has expanded into other configurations and continues to develop new designs to compete in the general-aviation market.
