G-CMTC - first Aviation Artur Trendak Tercel in the UK

On 4th July 2023 the first Aviation Artur Trendak Tercel gyrocopter was registered in the UK as G-CMTC with serial number T&S K32021RSTI - ie gyro #320.

The Polish built Tercel two seat side by side ( SxS ) gyro has been registered to Forward Aviation Ltd of Princes Risborough, UK. 

Hopefully the first of many other Tercels to come to the UK.

 

 

Visit to Aviation Artur Trendak - AAT

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Aviation Artur Trendak ( AAT ) factory at Jaktorow-Kolonia which is approx 35 miles SW of Warsaw, Poland.

The factory here has been building gyrocopters since 2007, initially as Celier Aviation building the Xenon. In late 2011 the business partners split leaving Artur Trendak to establish his own company AAT and further develop this gyro as the Zen1 and now as the Tercel. The three seat version is also in production now known as the Taurus. AAT have delivered approximately 60 gyrocopters since 2012.

At the time of my visit several three seat Taurus gyrocopters were being prepared for delivery to China as quick build kits.

 

AAT is also providing some support for the new Fusioncopter FC-4 four seat twinned engined gyrocopter. The first prototype is shown below being prepared for its initial flight.

I'd like to thank Artur Trendak and Michal Trendak for their help with this visit.
