6 MAR 08: ADAMS FAMILY BREAK UP

WHILE the burgeoning appetite for VLJ seems to show no sign of slowing, it hasn’t come soon enough to save another victim of the funding crisis affecting the financial markets after fledgling US manufacturer Adams Aircraft filed for bankruptcy last month.

The firm had delivered a handful of its distinctive A500 piston planes, but was most associated with its jet-powered design of the same airframe, the A700, and its signature tailboom. The plane was at the testing stage.

The Colorado firm owes anything up to $100m and has laid off 500 workers - though rival firms quickly took the opportunity to set up a jobs fair to try and get the best staff shortly after.
