The company's Free Warbler GGAC-100 aircraft is an all-composite aircraft with a carbon fiber fuselage, two high wings and two seats.

The aircraft meets all the standards of the Civil Aviation Administration of China and attracted the interest of several tourism and shipping companies before the exhibition.

It is the first time for a general aviation aircraft developed by a private Guizhou-based company to participate in an international airshow such as this, which will have a positive effect on the development of Guizhou's general aviation industry.

The first batch of 60 aircraft will be delivered within the next five years. The company will then develop different types of aircraft to meet the demands of customers, making it the top brand in Guizhou's private aviation industry.
