Recently, the "Aurora" aircraft produced in Zhuzhou, Hunan was officially delivered to Mexico's YEO Company, marking the first time the Starair Aircraft Co., Ltd. has sold its aircraft to Latin America.

With a one-piece molded carbon fiber body, the aircraft can fly on 95-octane gasoline and take off and land on grass strips or simple runways. Leveraging the product's flexible and easy-to-use features, the company has exported more than 30 aircraft this year. The "Aurora" aircraft is China's first light sport aircraft to obtain airworthiness certification from all three of Civil Aviation Administration of China, the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States, and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia. To date, nearly 500 aircraft have been delivered in total, with exports to the United States, Australia, Italy, and Southeast Asia, and other destinations.
