About the Storm 300
The Flyer Ind Aeronautica Ltda Storm 300 is an Italian homebuilt, fixed-wing aircraft featuring a cantilever low-wing layout and an enclosed cockpit seating two occupants side-by-side. Powered by a single turbocharged engine in a tractor configuration, it is supplied as a kit for amateur construction and suits recreational pilots.
The airframe is constructed mainly from aluminum sheet alongside fiberglass components, utilizing a specialized airfoil and a bubble canopy over the cabin. Early development saw the type produced by an initial iteration of the manufacturing company, with builders estimating several hundred hours of construction time from the supplied kits. A small number of examples have been registered internationally with aviation authorities.
