In August 2023, Flying Legend established its Hanoi-headquartered subsidiary Flying Legend Vietnam, a move aimed to meet rising demand and improve its service.
The company mainly provides kits for buyers to assemble the aircraft. Its popular products include Tucano R-Experimental and Tucano LSA editions of the Tucano aircraft designed by Embraer. Another main product is the TP-150 military trainer.
The biennial Vietnam Defense Expo 2024 is set to take place at Gia Lam airport during December 19-22, featuring 242 exhibitors from 27 countries such as the U.S., Russia, France, the UK, Israel, and China.
