26 JUN 07: COBRA BITTEN?

WILL the exciting Evektor Cobra ever go into production? The Czech manufacturer has made prototypes of both its intended versions, the 200hp VUT 100-120i and the 315hp VUT 100-131i, but is now searching for a strategic or financial partner.

Evektor says, "By end of 2006 the single-engine Cobra had completed all development tests including an extensive flight testing programme and airplane strength tests.

"Evektor has also completed production of all aircraft detail parts for serial assembly for the first batch of Cobras. The company now has orders for the airplane mainly from Western Europe and the USA, and in order to meet current Cobra demand, Evektor is seeking a strategic or financial partner to assist it in increasing production."

The aircraft was seen at last April's AERO Friedrichshafen, two years after debut at the same show, but news has been slow to come out of the Kunovice factory in the Czech Republic. It's being clearly aimed at the Cirrus SR20 and SR22 market - a sector with tons of high class competition from the likes of Columbia and Mooney, with further new models expected soon from Cessna and Piper.
