After considering the prospect for what lay ahead for AD after military aviation, we decided it prudent to invest in the General Civil aviation market.

Presenting the Peregrine class Glider/Trainer. Built primarily for the Royal Air Force Cadets as an introduction to single seat aviation, the Peregrine offers a stable flight characteristic, as well as incorporating mid-high speed and incredible maneuverability.

The Peregrine uses a detachable, bio-friendly engine comprised of lightweight materials such as wood and a paper construct for the skins, also included is a small electric motor producing the equivalent of a 50cc engine. This engine is only utilized and fitted when other methods of initial speed and altitude gain are unavailable.

the overall composite Skin of the airframe offers an environmentally friendly trainer at extreme low cost and maintainability.

The Peregrine class will be delivered to 301 Cadet Squadron in the next month to test, ready for mass production within the next 2 - 3 months.

As always, Enjoy <3
