Why We Build

For many years, our expertise was devoted to the restoration of legacy aircraft. While this endeavor was celebrated for its dedication, it increasingly encountered insurmountable challenges, including the scarcity of parts, the deteriorating condition of these vintage aircraft, and the ever-evolving FAA restrictions. These challenges signaled the need for a significant transformation. In response, we embarked on a visionary journey to produce entirely new aircraft, drawing inspiration from the St-Just 'Cyclone 180,' an aircraft cloned from the venerable Cessna 185 introduced in 1992. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St-Just_Cyclone

In 2021, Bushliner acquired the manufacturing rights to the Cyclone 180, establishing the foundation for a new era.

We recognized the enduring appeal of classic design, the rugged utility, and the raw performance of these aircraft. Our mission was to infuse new life into these enduring qualities. This revelation, fuelled by insights from our discerning customers, led us to meticulously enhance the new aircraft. The result is the Bushliner 1850 Cyclone, a transformation tenfold superior to its predecessors, the Cyclone 180 and Cessna 185.

The Cyclone 1850 symbolizes this profound transition, signifying our departure from the restoration work that once defined us and heralding an era of innovation and sustainability. Here's why we engineered this change:

Sustainability: The restoration of older aircraft became increasingly unsustainable due to the scarcity of spare parts and required labor. The Bushliner 1850 Cyclone represents a novel approach that ensures long-term sustainability by being built from all new components.
‍
Proven Design: We hold a deep appreciation for classic design. The Bushliner 1850 Cyclone preserves the quintessential elements of classic aviation aesthetics while incorporating contemporary features.
‍
Cutting-Edge Technology: Our new aircraft integrates the latest technological advancements, guaranteeing improved performance and unwavering reliability.
Safety: Safety is of utmost importance. The Bushliner 1850 Cyclone incorporates state-of-the-art safety measures, providing peace of mind to passengers and operators alike.
‍
Performance: We harnessed the power of innovation to create an aircraft that excels in performance, efficiency, and adaptability.

In summary, our transition from restoring used aircraft to introducing the Bushliner 1850 Cyclone marks a pivotal moment. It reflects our unwavering commitment to sustainability, pays homage to timeless design, and embraces the forefront of technology. This is our effort to ensure that the legacy of classic aviation thrives in the modern world, invigorated with fresh perspectives and renewed enthusiasm."
