Aviat Aircraft Inc.

Aviat Aircraft Inc. makes the Husky and Pitts aircraft in Wyoming, USA. The company says its aircraft are made in Wyoming, USA. Its website describes each aircraft as handcrafted, with each piece of metal and plastic, every rivet, bolt and screw formed, assembled and inspected by skilled people.

The Husky A-1C is described as a rugged, reliable aircraft designed for people who would rather fly a real airplane. The company lists the Husky 180 and Husky 200 models, including the A-1C-180 and A-1C-200. Its Husky STOL plus package and its float and tundra packages extend how the aircraft can be used.

The Husky has a fore and aft sliding front seat, and its rear seat can be removed with quick release pins. A quick release rear stick adds flat storage space for gear. The company says its elevator trim tab replaces the bungee system, which reduces trim workload. Shock dampened landing gear absorbs energy and makes rough backcountry strips smoother. The gear can also be fitted with skis.

Safety features include a safety cage designed to take crash energy away from the occupants, and seats made of high strength steel. Both seats come with 16g cushions, and the pilot and passenger each have a five point harness. The company says the Husky was the first general aviation airplane with FAA certified seatbelt airbags.

Options for the Husky include instrument panels, paint schemes, aluminum struts, reversible props, seats and electronic ignition. The website describes a Garmin TXi touchscreen panel with a GTN 750 navigator as an enhanced option for the Husky.

The company also makes the Pitts S2C, which it calls a Pitts Special. The website says the Pitts is built to make the pilot smile every time they get behind the stick.

Aviat sells new Husky and Pitts aircraft, and it lists executive demo and preowned aircraft for sale. Customers can order a new Husky or Pitts through the website. Aviat Factory Service has two authorized Husky service centers, one in the Midwest and one in the South. The company also publishes Husky and Pitts service bulletins and a parts catalog, and it offers restorations.
