Skygear's Entry into the U.S.

In February 1998, Skygear exhibit its Comet model in Sun & Fun.

STARTING THE PRODUCT LINE

 

COMET Series

SKYGEAR SPORT

Roomy, composit covered 4130 cro-moly truss structure sportplane.

In 2001, the COMET was completely redesigned. It incorporated state-of-the-art technology that moved it up the scale in the midsize COMET SP. It was introduced with the Rotax582, 618, 912 and new Jabiru engines, in 1999, after 3 years research and development the SKYGEAR was replaced by the all-new subcompact SKYGEAR U.L.

With the SKYGEAR U.L, Skygear offered customers high-tech sophistication and features, but still at an entry-level price. For model year 2000, the SKYGEAR 2000 was redesigned to offer buyers even more value and quality. For the 2001 model year, SKYGAR models were upgraded to the powerful four-cylinder engine. In 2002, the SKYGEAR ALBATROSS models were fitted with folding wings and third seat as standard.

 

SkyGear Series

 

We use our expertise to create flying-related products and services of superior quality, safety for demanding customers in selected segments.
