Congratulations!

Africa has produced some potentially big sales for this machine.

Nigeria hold big possibilities, as do one or two other countries.

Congratulations Xenon. Hopefully this will go a long ways in promoting the world of gyros.

Looks like some exciting things are going on with Celier Aviation and the Xenon. I just received my wheel pants today along with several really cool Xenon calendars.

I certainly hope the most recent efforts to once again open up the US market for Xenon and other manufacturers are successful.

I would like to publicly thank Artur at Celier for his prompt response to my questions and processing my order in a timely manner.

They certainly put out nice Videos. I believe Raphael's brother may have a hand in these.

Hello to all,

PTkay was faster than me to present here our own work, thanks to do my job :-)
Yes we did a zero fault mission in Burkina Faso, and is only the first one in this country to be followed by other ones through a larger order. Despite the terrible temperature and turbulences, our Xenons handled very well.
We are back from Le Bourget airshow were another military Xenon was presented, equiped with auto-pointing camera HD. See enclosed link.

We are looking for distributor in Canada of the Xenon on floats...
Yes a lot of things are moving great.
As well we are preparing our re-entry into the US market.
Yes, my brother Benjamin is always part of filming adventures, he is truly professional.

Hello Raphael,

the floats-video is not the greatest with the side compression, making the Xenon look like bulldog. And then the shake.

I re-worked it a bit for better viewing. There are a few jerks still left, where my program was lost, but overall I think it is a better.
What do you think?

Hey thanks for the help.

One of my collegue, tried to compress the movie, and i saw the format was not good.
I am transfering it to my brother, so as usual he can prepare a great clip.

Here is our last testing...
Enjoy the blog and photos.

Floats can now be considered really working on a gyro like the Xenon. I would like to thanks all the inquieries from all around the world about this neat option.
Our last test was only to try proove how efficient the system is. Meanwhile, I do strongly recommend to use floats on our turbo version to have more power margin, and shorter take-off, as well as our large rotor (8.8m) will make it shorter TO.
More to come soon.

ATTENTION everyone, CELIER AVIATION is releasing a brand new website, same URL : www.celieraviation.eu lots of articles and new fonctions. 3 New models are also in the tube, they will be released in spring time.

We are proud to annonce also that the factory is well growing, total employees is now 25, and a brand new factory is under construction on our private airfield, near by our actual building. This new place is 3000 square meters, plus 700 sqm of offices, plus shop, plus petrol station, plus hotel 5 stars with multiservices for GA and gyros of course.

Production goes well and stable with 3 / 4 machines a month, but it shall increase soon with the new facility. The Xenon XL (3 seats) gets its success, many are on order book.

We have also completed the new ASTM standards with the mutual collaboration with Greg Reminger, and got the FAA positive answer. We are now all waiting patiently that the FAA will release this new protocol. It has been a long lasting procedure, we spent here 1560 hours to prepare the ASTM. But as at CELIER Aviation we are totally dedicated to professionalism, we did not spare any energy and money to fullfill it. Quality and safety first.

As soon as it becomes again possible to imports our wonderful machines, we shall re-activate the distributor network. We shall be pleased to welcome new interested person in the group.

We have developped new technologies since, and USA pilots will be pleased to see that.
We are more than ever dedicated to gyros. More simple and more affordable models are in preparation...Wait and see...

To all our Xenon users, fans, enthousiasts, we say thanks, and see you soon in the USA skies !!
