Podgórzyn, Poland-based Flaris completed installation of a Williams FJ33-5 turbofan in the first conforming LAR 1 (S/N 7) and expects to begin engine testing on the five-seat single-engine jet later this month in anticipation of first flight this spring. The company announced its selection of the 1,700-pound-thrust Williams engine at the Paris Air Show in June last year. Late last month, Beringer was named as the supplier of the very light jet’s anti-lock braking system.
