Paradise Industria Aeronautica Ltda is a Brazilian aircraft manufacturer based in Feira de Santana, Bahia State, founded in 2001. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of light aircraft in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft for the American light-sport aircraft category.[1][2]
The company's first aircraft design, the Paradise P-1 LSA is a two-seat light-sport aircraft for the American market. The aircraft was accepted by the Federal Aviation Administration as an SLSA and by January 2015 ten had been sold in the US.[1][2][3][4]
The company has further developed the P-1 design into the P-1NG, the P-2 and the four-seat P-4. The company works in steel tubing, covered with aluminium sheet[1][5]
The company initially set up a production facility in the United States, in Sebring, Florida to serve that market, but it was later closed. By 2015 the company had no representation in the US.[2]
