The first fully Hungarian made airplanes could hit the market soon
Change language:
A brand-new fully Hungarian designed, developed and manufactured aeroplane was presented in Pécs. This newly developed aircraft will have an important role in education and Hungarian pilot training in the future.
The Fusion 213 was developed by Magnus Aircraft, who would like to change people’s views about flying. Thanks to acknowledged Hungarian aeronautical expertise and modern technologies they aim to enable the widest range of people to find joy in flying, they say.
Magnus Aircraft wants to manufacture aircraft that outperform the current competition and is highly environmentally friendly.
M1 news broadcast interviewed Zoltán Illés, the lead designer of the new Fusion 213 Hungarian aircraft. He said that in contrast to the previous model, they have installed fuel tanks in each wing, thus increasing the travel distance of the aircraft by 150 to 200 kilometres approximately, writes Hirado.hu.

Magnus Aircraft expects this model to be the first, entirely Hungarian developed and built aircraft to obtain the European Union Aviation Safety Agency’s type certificate.
Zoltán Illés also added that they used the same engine – a Rotax 912 – as in the UltraLight version, but they have implemented changes in the airframe compared to the previous model, Fusion 212.
