9 NOV 07: SMART PLANES FROM SLOVAKIA

A NEW American-Slovakian venture is working on a range of light sport aircraft called 'The SmartPlane Concept'.

AveoEngineering, based in Sloavkia, has two aircraft under construction, the Phantom and the Shadow, and is also producing advanced glass cockpit displays - which are being launched in the UK later this month at the Sports & Leisure Aviation Show.

Aveo claims its designs are five years ahead of other light sport aircraft, with many safety elements included.

Features of the AveoPhantom SmartPlane:
* Magnum Ballistic Parachute pre-engineered for the 5G stress of deployment
* AveoLoad real-time aircraft weight and CoG and G-force sensors and display prevent taking off overweight or out of CoG
* Wrap-around 360 degree windows for unmatched visibility
* Aveo2ndChance SafeDitch Airframe Air Cushion/Flotation device with automatic deployment after ballistic parachute activation
* Complete DigitalFlightDeck cockpit suite, first of its kind in the world with backup battery operation
* Aveo SmartYoke touchscreen pilot yoke for safety and productivity
* Crash-stressed cage environment for pilot protection
