And Just Like That, Pipistrel is a Textron Property
The acquisition sets into motion all kinds of changes for both brands
By Plane & Pilot UPDATED APRIL 19, 2022
With a snap of the fingers—and about $236 million in cold, hard cash—Textron, Inc. has closed the acquisition of Slovenian aircraft maker Pipistrel, which Textron describes as “an award-winning pioneer and global leader in electrically powered aircraft.”
It remains to be seen just what the acquisition will mean to Textron Aviation in terms of programs and new models, though it is widely believed that the company plans to introduce an electric trainer model based on the all-electric Pipistrel Velis Electro, which is certified in Europe.
Mes deux cents,
