History The founders of the company, Zizo Sola and Marcos Vilela, worked with Richard Allen Trickel Jr. in the USA in the 1990s. Richard Allen Trickel Jr. was the designer of the KIS 2, KIS 4, KIS Cruiser, Super Pulsar and Pulsar Super Cruiser aircraft, of which more than 300 were built.Purdy, Don: AeroCrafter - Homebuilt Aircraft Sourcebook, Fifth Edition, page 277. BAI Communications, 15 July 1998. The idea of founding an experimental aircraft factory in Brazil arose from this collaboration. Together they first developed the Volato 400, a modern four-seater made of composite materials. They are currently working on a further development of the machine, the Volato 200, a two-seater.
The company also produces composite parts for Embraer.
