VulcanAir Aircraft
are Made-to-Order
Vulcanair Aircraft are made-to-order certified airplanes
handcrafted in Naples, Italy. Our aircraft are all metal high
wing twins. At first glance the new generations P68 Aircraft
are immediately noticeable by the original eclectic mix of
aluminum construction and solid feel.
Modern fluid aerodynamic lines
characterize the aircraft look.
Entering the aircraft’s cockpit the smell of the
handcrafted leather and the vision of the new
state of the art Garmin avionic suite mark a
noticeable improvement relative to the P68
Series previous generations.
Vulcanair Aircraft re-introduced the P68
Series aircraft back in 1999 with production
resuming in the early 2000s. Since then, the
aircraft has gone through an extensive and
continuous modernization.
The new avionics and over 130 modifications
and improvements introduced only last year
make the aircraft even more fit for function.
In terms of flight qualities the aircraft was a
success since the beginning and still today
there are no other light twins that can match
its precision, stability, and benign flight
qualities. Vulcanair’s approach on aircraft
design is that for a given mix of aircraft size
power and configuration there is little that
can be improved on the P68 excellent and
successful design.
Therefore Vulcanair’s focus is to concentrate
on the aircraft systems and on adapting the
aircraft to improve fit for the aircraft typical
missions. In addition, Vulcanair listens to the
customer’s mission needs and constantly
evaluates when possible the use of Vulcanair
Aircraft to fit the customer’s requested
missions.
The P68 Series aircraft can
satisfy a number of different
users.
GA private or small commercial operators,
will appreciate its roominess, the twin-engine
configuration and low operating costs.
In its surveillance missions the P68 Observer
2 and P68C and their turbocharged siblings
can provide an extremely effective observation
or aerial works tool.
The certified camera hatch of these aircraft
allows the installation of most large format
digital cameras and a wide array of gyro
stabilized HD cameras.
In addition the 10.5-hour endurance insures
positioning and mission success when the
work has to be done; not the following day
when the weather conditions have changed.
The helicopter like Plexiglas nose of the P68
Observer Series is unique and gives the pilot
unmatched helicopter-like visibility, which can
be an invaluable asset for the working pilot
and bring a unique experience to the private
owner.
Recently Vulcanair introduced
the A-VIATOR
The A-VIATOR; a certified larger twin turbine
aircraft derived from the P68 Series.
The aircraft is unpressurized so it’s still
un-complicated and features an innovative
Oxyfly brand system that allows continuous
oxygen generation in the cabin through an
innovative compressor, delivered via
comfortable cannulas placed on the headsets.
The Oxyfly allows the pilot and passengers to
fly the aircraft at “pressurized” flight levels for
an indefinite time without the need of recharging
the oxygen because there are no bottles.
The A-VIATOR features a state-of-the art three
screen G950 Garmin glass cockpit and two RR
model 250, 328 SHP turbines for some serious
performance. The aircraft is very well suited for
utility and short field GA and
private use and where the need of a simple
fast (200kt) yet roomy aircraft (up to 10
passengers + 1 pilot) is welcome.
In its surveillance configuration the A-VIATOR
features two camera hatches for the
installation of 360 radars or large format HD
digital mapping cameras and a “long nose”
for installation of a wide array gyrostabilized
cameras. One of our preferred integrators told
me once: “this aircraft is the largest and most
capable aircraft you need when someone
needs a surveillance aircraft and the choice is
not driven by politics” recalls Remo De Feo,
CEO of Vulcanair.
In terms of pricing our aircraft start at
728,000.00 Euros for a Garmin equipped
P68C, up to 2.1 Million euros for the
A-VIATOR turboprop
