Cicaré
Cicaré S.A. is an Argentine helicopter manufacturer founded by Augusto Cicaré in Saladillo, Buenos Aires Province in the 1970s to develop aircraft of his own design. A number of prototypes were constructed, including one under contract from the Argentine Air Force, but no great successes were achieved until the CH-7 light sporting helicopter in the 1990s.
In March 2007, the first prototype of a Cicaré CH-14, a light helicopter for the Argentine Army, was ready. On March 18, 2010, they presented the CH-7B and CH-12 during the EAA Argentina Annual Meeting.
The company exports to Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Taiwan, China and Alaska.
