Deliveries to Start Later This Year
Sino Swearingen Aircraft Corp. (SSAC) announced Thursday that
mass production of customer aircraft has begun at its production
facilities. FAA certification of the SJ30-2 is on schedule and
expected later this year.
"In the last two years we have progressed at an exceptionally
high rate for the FAA certification and will accomplish virtually
everything necessary within a few months, "says Dr. Carl L. Chen,
CEO and President. "Now we are concentrating our efforts on
providing the ultimate light jet to the business world. First
delivery is targeted before the end of this year."
Building the SJ30-2 is accomplished in two of SSAC's large
production facilities. The Martinsburg, West Virginia SSAC facility
manufactures the fuselage and main wings. The wings and fuselage
are then shipped to the SSAC facilities at San Antonio, Texas. The
Texas facilities houses final assembly, jigs and tooling for the
new SJ30-2 business jet.
Customer aircraft Serial number 0006 has been mated with the
wings, tail assembly, and landing gear and has moved out of the
mating jig to its next production position in the San Antonio
facility.
Customer aircraft Serial Number 0007 fuselage and wings are near
completion at the Martinsburg facilities and about to be shipped to
San Antonio for assembly in the mating jig. Lean manufacturing
systems are setting up in both facilities.
Customer aircraft serial numbers 0008 through 0012 are in
various stages of mass production.
