The Made-In-The-U.S. AR-1 Will Be Compliant With MOSAIC And ASTM Standards
SilverLIght Aviation has announced at the SUN ’n FUN Aerospace Expo that its flagship gyroplane, the American Ranger 1 (AR-1), will now be delivered as a factory-built gyroplane, compliant with MOSAIC and ASTM Standards.
The company claims that this this makes the AR-1 the first American-made production gyroplane to be offered as factory-built to meet new Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements.
“We have been working directly with the industry and FAA to complete the ASTM Standards required by MOSAIC and are confident that our aircraft will meet and exceed these standards,” said Abid Farooqui, president and founder of SilverLIght Aviation. “Thus, we have decided to begin taking orders for compliant factory-built AR-1 gyroplanes at SUN ’n FUN.”
The first MOSAIC- and ASTM-compliant factory-built AR-1 gyroplanes are scheduled to be delivered in October and November 2026.
Established in 2012, SilverLight Aviation manufactures light sport aircraft with an emphasis on the Recon airplane and AR-1 gyroplane, which are built and assembled in Zephyrhills, Fla., in the Tampa Bay Area.
