Flaris Starts FJ33 Runs as LAR 01 Nears First Flight
During a static test run earlier this month, the engine control was positively checked throughout the whole power range
Flaris' assembly line at Podgórzyn, Poland, is becoming crowded, with (front to back) S/Ns 5, 7 and 6 now on the line. The start-up aircraft manufacturer has already started engine runs on S/N 7, which will make its maiden flight this summer. S/N 5 will also be part of the two-aircraft test fleet, while S/N 6 will be used for static fatigue testing. (Photo: Flaris)
