Robin Aircraft, <\/b>french manufacturer of handcrafted single-engine aircrafts based in Darois (Burgundy), is the direct heir of former companies\u00a0Centre-Est A\u00e9ronautique<\/strong>, Avions Pierre Robin<\/i><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Apex Aircraft<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”85px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column] <\/p>\n Pierre Robin alongside with being\u00a0an amateur of plane races was\u00a0an\u00a0incredibly gifted\u00a0pilot. He has partnered with Jean Delemontez<\/strong> in 1957 to give birth to the first DR (for Delemontez-Robin), which already had its characteristically dihedral wing\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Just for the record, note that Pierre Robin already had orders from several customers (we have been told 6) before he even created the company. Being respected and recognized as he was a serious advantage at that time.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<\/div> <\/p>\n Noble heir from previous “DR” (DR100, then DR220 and the series of DR300), the DR400 asserts itself with a brand new glass roof (canopy). The history of DR400 is worth the biggest epic stories : first-born is F-WSQO, a DR400 with 180hp. The following DR400 to be manufactured is a DR400\/125 and it will definitely be blessed since he was part of the 2 planes which have been saved from a terrible fire in April 18th 1972. 17 DR300 and 13 HR100\/200 went up in smoke that day of April alongside with every square meter of Robin’s workshops. This day will make a mark on the company ever since<\/strong>.<\/p>\n However has the new factory been rebuilt and even delivered its first DR400 only two months after the terrible fire of July 1972.<\/p>\n Eventually, 42 DR400 were handcrafted during the year 1972. And more than 3.000 since then.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<\/div> After a difficult period, Apex Aircraft -former stockholder- going bankrupt, Daniel Triques creates Robin Aircraft in May of 2011. The main objective being to restart the production of new DR since demand has been real from several flight clubs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Alongside with its Robin Aircraft’s CEO duties, Daniel Triques is also technical director at CEAPR, another company whose CEO is Christophe Belin and which has kept on going the manufacturing and selling of Robin Aircraft parts.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This fresh start has been encouraged by former distributors of Apex Aircraft which have taken full responsibility (into the capital) ever since. [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<\/div> <\/p>\n Even if its similar exterior shape can be misleading, the DR401 is extremely different from its older brother (the DR400). 95% of the parts of the DR400 have been modified or even entirely re-designed to give birth to DR401<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The DR401 now preserves\u00a0the best qualities of its older brother but improves the rest.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<\/div> Between 1957 and 2017, the company based in\u00a0Darois has\u00a0produced no less than 4.500 planes. From now on focused\u00a0on the production of its last\u00a0“jewel” the DR401, the company is in the best of wealth and looks forward to\u00a0the\u00a0future with ambition and confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n The production should quickly soar to 2 and even 3 planes a month.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<\/div> <\/p>\n CEAPR and Robin Aircraft are working together on the re-production of the legendary aerobatic training aircraft.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The CAP10 is the most famous aerobatic aircraft in France and Europe.<\/strong> Two-seater aircraft side by side that started in the 1970s. The CAP10 then evolved with the adoption of a spar lined with carbon blades instead of wood.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<\/div><\/div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height=”100px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text] Our Story [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text] Our Workshops [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″ el_class=”text-center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”4\/6″][vc_column_text] Let us take you throughout 60 years of great history and passion.
