ADS Advance - Aerobility’s Project Able wins Laureate Award
UK disabled flying charity, Aerobility, has received a prestigious Laureate Award, in the business aviation category, from Aviation Week Network.
The award is for Project Able, a collaboration with Germany’s Grob Aircraft SE and the UK’s Southern Sailplanes, backed by the UK Government, which centres on a full refurbishment, new engine, propeller and avionics enhancement of former RAF Air Cadet Vigilant Grob G109 motorgliders.
A number will fly with Aerobility, adapted for disabled flyers and the remaining aircraft will be sold by the charity to support the project and also enable more disabled people to fly.
