SUPER PETREL

The SUPER PETREL is an amphibious pusher configuration biplane, seating two side-by-side. Developed by EDRA Aeronautica in 2002, this aircraft has French parentage but was brought into production in Brazil. It evolved from the SMAN Pétrel, with a completely redesigned version, the Paturi, appearing in 1997, leading to the SUPER PETREL. By 2014, Scoda Aeronáutica of Ipeúna, São Paulo, Brazil, was producing the design. The aircraft is built with a mix of materials, extensively utilizing composites. Its history includes the later-designed SUPER PETREL LS in 2009, which offered an increased cruising speed and greater fuel capacity.
