Founded 1991, has developed the Accord-201 seven-seat lightplane with twin piston engines on its high-mounted wing (first flown 1994). A four-seat business jet was under development as the Accord-Jet.
Designed by Pieraldo Mortara and first produced in 1945 by Azionaria Vercellese Industrie Aeronautiche / A.V.I.A., the LM-5 Aviastar two-seat light cabin monoplane was taken over in 1947 be Francis Lombardi & C.
The Aviastar is powered by a 60 hp C.N.A. D.4 engine, but a Continental C85 may be installed.

An all wood, side-by-side, enclosed cabin monoplane, of which more than 300 open cockpit derivatives had been built for the Regia Aeronautica under and Italian Government contract (by Francis Lombardi & Co of Vercelli).
The Avia LD-40, designed and built by the former Avia factory of the Czechslovak nationalised aircraft industry in 1954, is a four-seat cabin monoplane of all-metal construction and powered by a 105 hp Walter Minor 4-III engine. A feature is the reverse tricycle undercarriage, the normal nosewheel being replaced by a wheel mounted immediately aft of the wing trailing edge. The main wheels are mounted well forward below the wing and, on the gound, the Avia LD-40 remains in flying attitude.
The LD-40 accommodates four people on two side-by-side bench-type seats, and the cockpit canopy slides backwards.
The first prototype Avia B-35 fighter fuselage featured a screwed and riveted steel-tube-structure, covered by fabric. From the cockpit forwards was covered by removable aluminium sheet plates. The wings comprised two wooden longerons, wooden skeletal structure and covered by a thin alclad sheet. Aircraft`s performance was influenced by the fix hooded undercarriage.
The first prototype was flight-tested during September 1938. Sgt. Kavalec lost his life in the first prototype.
B-35
Only three prototypes of the fixed-undercarriage-B-35 fighter attaining a maximum speed of 495 km/p/h were built. The B-135 was the production version of B-35 with metal wing and retractable undercarriage. The B-135 was completed after the Germans occupied the Czech and Moravian Lands on March 15, 1939. Twelve planes of this type as well as the B-135 licence was bought by a Bulgarian-pro-Nazi regime in 1941.
