ACS-100 SORA and its technological innovations: into the future general aviation scenario

The recently created category of Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) in the United States of America (USA) opens up new perspectives and furthers the development of general aviation. Within this scenario, new enterprises are arising to meet the demand for more versatile airplanes. The ACS-100 SORA is a Brazilian response to the worldwide demand for a new generation of personal aerial transportation. This paper presents the most relevant parts of the engineering development and construction cycle of an all composite sport aircraft with high standard performance, comfort, safety and low cost.
