1.1. Prole of the company
The JIHLAVAN airplanes company was established in March 2005
after taking over the design rights and production technology of the
Kappa 77 company - its ultralight aircraft manufacturing partner. In
May 2017 it has entered into a strategic partnership with Zall Aircraft
Manufacturing Co. Ltd. which resulted into a change in the company
name into the current ZALL JIHLAVAN airplanes, s.r.o.
By retaining the know-how of Kappa 77’s skilled workforce, and
rebranding as SKYLEADER, the ZALL JIHLAVAN company started the
production of the following all-metal UL/S-LSA aircraft - SKYLEADER
150, 200 and 500. The primary goal of the company was to continue
aircraft production and to undertake further development of the
aircraft models.
SKYLEADER Aircraft currently supplies the UL / LSA market and continues to increase its production capacity. With
research and development support from the Institute of Aerospace Engineering (Brno University of Technology), the
SKYLEADER aircraft are rened and modernized, building up on their already excellent characteristics at all times. The
ZALL JIHLAVAN airplanes company’s modern 3,200 m2 factory allows plenty of space for future expansion. SKYLEADER
has established trade contracts around the world, with network of representatives in Argentina, Australia, Austria,
Brazil, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Holland, India, Iran, Italy, Malta, New Zealand, Poland, Romania, South
Africa, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey and USA. SKYLEADER aircraft can be seen at international exhibitions in Friedrichshafen
(Germany); U.S. Sport Aviation Expo Sebring, Sun ´n Fun and Oshkosh (USA); Radom (Poland), Blois (France), Cielo e
Volo, Meeting di Primavera (Italy); FIDAE (Chile); AeroExpo Prague (CZ); etc.
The ZALL JIHLAVAN airplanes company has now developed the wide-body fuselage for its SKYLEADER 200 and
SKYLEADER 500, and more recently the new SKYLEADER 400 and 600. It extends the comfort of crew by enlarging the
cockpit width, without sacricing the top ying qualities, minimal operating costs or safety. The newest members of
the SKYLEADER eet are GP One, a wide-body carbon composite model, and a new all-metal model, the single-seat
SKYLEADER 100.
