Groen Brothers Aviation SparrowHawk Gyroplane Sales Reach Milestone
Thursday September 22, 7:00 AM EDT
SparrowHawk Kit Sales Reach 100
Groen Brothers Aviation, Inc. (GNBA) based in Salt Lake City, Utah, announced today that total sales for their SparrowHawk Gyroplane and SparrowHawk/P modification kits have now reached 100. "We are extremely pleased with the market response to the design of these remarkable aircraft," said David Groen, President & CEO of Groen Brothers Aviation. Sales have strengthened since the introduction of the new FAA Sport Pilot rules, which allow licensed pilots to fly these small gyroplanes using a driver's license in place of an FAA medical certificate.
Dealerships Continue to Expand
The positive market response to the SparrowHawk has also increased the interest in SparrowHawk Dealerships. There are now 30 SparrowHawk Dealerships throughout the world. SparrowHawk Dealers can now be found in North, Central, and South America, Australia, the Bahamas, New Zealand, Russia, and South Africa. Groen Brothers also has sales representation in China, India and Korea.
About Groen Brothers Aviation, Inc.
Groen Brothers Aviation, Inc. has developed the first commercially viable modern gyroplane, the Hawk 4. The gyroplane is a hybrid aircraft combining the low operating cost of an airplane and the off-runway operating capability of a helicopter. The company is also developing varying sizes of gyrodyne VTOL (vertical take off and landing) aircraft for both civilian and military roles.
A "gyrodyne" powers its rotors with reaction-drive tip-jets for takeoff and landing, but flies as a gyroplane with the rotor unpowered and in sustained autorotation in forward flight. This aircraft type is eminently applicable for use as safe, low cost VTOL commuter airliners, troop carriers, and large cargo haulers with the ability to land and take off from nearly anywhere.
Through its American Autogyro division, the company has also developed and is currently selling a smaller kit gyroplane, the SparrowHawk, to meet the growing demands of the home-built gyroplane kit market, and to provide a safe, economical airborne patrol vehicle for law enforcement and other government applications. The Company continues to develop a nationwide dealership network for the sale of these products.
