History
The origins of Octans Aircraft date to 2002, when INPAER (Portuguese: Indústria Paulista de Aeronáutica) was founded as a light aircraft manufacturer, producing more than 240 light sport aircraft.[3] In 2013, banker Milton Roberto Pereira bought a third of the shares in the company and focused the company on the type certified aircraft market.[4] Investments resulted in modernizing the company's plant and adopting Siemens Digital Industries Software to speed product development and certification.[1][2][5]
Following the restructuring, in the 2017 the company was renamed Octans Aircraft and a new light aircraft project announced, the 300A. It was later renamed the Octans Cygnus.[1][2] In early 2018, Octans Aircraft announced that it has sold INPAER's previous design rights to a former owner.[6] The first Cygnus prototype was completed and the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil certification process commenced, with deliveries forecast for the second half of 2021.[1][7]
