Czech Sport Aircraft

Czech Sport Aircraft is an aircraft manufacturer based in the Czech Republic and the successor of Czech Aircraft Works. The Regional Court in Brno declared Czech Aircraft Works bankrupt in 2009, and the successor company entered the market that same year under the new name. Its SportCruiser was added to the Piper Aircraft line as the PiperSport under a licence in January 2010, with Czech Sport Aircraft still building the aircraft, until Piper ended the agreement in January 2011 and the dealers formed an association to keep the aircraft on sale. In 2011 its line included the amphibious Mermaid, the SportCruiser and the streamlined Parrot, from 2012 only the SportCruiser and the PS-28 Cruiser were produced, and it built its 600th aircraft in June 2017. In 2016 the SportCruiser was the best-selling aircraft in the special light-sport category in the United States.
