Philosophy

's philosophy is to introduce products that are considerably better than current
ones, in order to guarantee significant advancements in four aspects: Safety,
Performance, Ease of Operation and Innovation
.
Safety:
The new product has to offer a level of safety that is at par or better than the
one it is replacing.
Performance:
The new product must perform better than the one it is replacing.
Ease of Operation:
The new product must display higher levels and better operational
ease than the one it is replacing.
Innovation:
New products must display real benefits to the user, facilitating free-flying,
increased safety, or both.
The development process and design of every new product begins at the computer.
Drawing Software, 2D, 3D modeling and simulation are utilized before the actual
manufacturing of prototypes, in order to ensure greater accuracy in each new design.
