Giovanni Nustrini

If you've ever wondered what the Falco would be like if it was 'modernized' and built with carbon fiber, now you can have the answer. Years ago Luciano Nustrini pursued the idea of a carbon-fiber Falco with a tee-tail and winglets.

Now, Giovanni Nustrini, his brother Lapo and Lapo Ancillotti have finally done it and they have designed the Falcomposite LN 27 FURIO. The plane flew for the first time on February 6, 2008. The airplane has the same 180 hp engine Giovanni has in his Falco, and he reports that the Furio is faster and has a great rate of roll.

Best wishes to the Falcomposite team with the design.
