The "SAVAGE" idea
The Savage went into production in Italy between 1997 and 1998. The idea was to create an aircraft with good STOL performace, classic design and good handling that would be economic and easy to build and repair.
A particular weakness for one of the legends of 20th century aviation -the Piper Cub- drove the designer of the SAVAGE and his team, the aeronautical engineers Bonaldo, Franchini and Vizzini (the latter had worked at Aeritalia, and spent a long period at Boeing in Seattle before moving on to AERMACCHI) to build several prototypes that would become the basis for the definitive Savage.

Since 1999 the construction (which employs the best aeronautical materials from the USA, Italy and France) moved in the Czech Republic and it is carried by the aeronautical company ZLIN AVIATION S.R.O.

The production line features a whole series of product quality controls and construction checks. These are carried out by technicians whose signature confirms that the aircraft has been fully tested and certified. The aircraft has several type - approvals in different Countries.

More than 165 Savages have been already delivered worlwide (October 2008) . Considering our rate for month delivery, the 200th plane will be delivered soon.

The “Savage” Idea is still in progress.
Next Spring two new versions of the Savage will be introduced. into the market.
One of these two new planes, will be presented officially at the next International 2009 Friedricshafen exibition (Germany).
What was simply born as a dream of his designer, became during the years a strong product and a good choise for a lots of pilots around the world. To fly around, at an average cruise speed of 95-100mph,with an huge visibility is probably one of the best way to enjoy the sky. Expecially if you know that you can land almost everywhere!

Some special accessories will allow the transformation of the Savage into a very “specialized vehicle”...The little limit (as many pilots still think) to have a taildragger plane will magically become a big “advantage”.
To have a tandem seating configuration (another limit for many pilots or potential customers) will become again a bonus...
Expecially considering that the Savage can land on a glacier, or into a canyon, or just in that short beach, near your preferred river.

The Tig welded (4130) structure of the fuselage and the possibility to repair it easily, togheter with the easy to repair covering system, are big advantages for the “Bushflying”and everyone can simply take a look to the history and see how well the famous Piper Cub perfomed in this special sector of the Aviation.

Elegance, history, strenght, versatility .All these factors will help our customers to save the value of the plane during the years. It is not a mistery that many Piper Cubs cost after 40 years of life more than one of our Savage, totally new. This is due to the Classic style and the good reputation of these special aircrafts...and we are “now” proud to start to be considered one of these special planes.

Ultralight in Europe. Lsa in Usa. Other or similar definitions in other Countries.

Click to ZoomDifferent names but the same category... and the same results.
A new “Aviation” is helping thousands of Pilots to feel more free and to burn less money for their dreams. With the same or often better performances against similar design (certified planes).
If this was only a dream many years ago, is today a strong reality.

The dream to fly and feel the freedom can survive against the main problem of the general
aviation: the costs.

We consider the Savage Idea, part ot this fantastic process....

Stay tuned.
