Corvus Hungary LLC is an aircraft manufacturer that was founded in 2011 to produce the Corvus Fusion aircraft.

History

[edit]

Started in 2004, originally named Corvus Aircraft Ltd and based in Ballószög, Hungary,[1][2] the company consisted of five employees including Managing Director Tamás Gecse and Chief Engineer Andras Voloscsuk.[3] The company developed the Corvus Corone Mk 1 aircraft.[4]

Corvus Aircraft began development of the ultralight Corvus Corone MK II in 2006 and had its first company presence at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh airshow in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA.[4]

Corvus Aircraft debuted its Corvus Phantom aircraft in 2007.[4] Corvus Aircraft also signed a contract with Red Bull for developing a new airplane, the Corvus Racer 540, for Péter Besenyei designed especially for air racing.[5]

In August 2011, a new company Corvus Hungary LLC was formed, based in Hungary, to develop the Corvus Fusion aircraft.[6]

In 2012 the company established a joint venture, called Corvus Aerospace (Suzhou) in Suzhou, China, to manufacturer parts and develop the Corvus Racer 312, a smaller version of the Corvus Racer 540 for the European microlight and American light sport aircraft categories. The new design first flew on 1 November 2013[7]
