Roadmap to Receiving Your Sinbad

Book Your Sinbad Production begins: late 2026 Completion scheduled: late 2026 Kit handover Pickup at factory Home delivery Build yourself with GRAD Aeronaut support Flight testing Add Factory Assembly Configuration approval Procurement of parts Assembly at the factory Flight testing Aircraft Delivery Certification GRAD Aeronaut support First payment 50% Progress Payment Final 50% Payment

When you receive your Sinbad kit, you will have the choice of how to reach a completed aircraft.

Either assemble it yourself, or entrust the work to the factory.

In both cases, you will receive full professional support, guiding you until your Sinbad’s airworthiness certificate.

You will also have the opportunity to take several flight lessons in the Sinbad with an experienced instructor.

Metal stabilizer and wing with GA(W)-2 airfoil and advanced Fowler flaps
Advantages of the Metal Wing

Sinbad — Metal Wing and Stabilizer

The decision to manufacture the wing and stabilizer surfaces in metal was driven by the need to extend the aircraft’s service life with confidence. Both the wing and stabilizer are entirely metal, which allows the aircraft to be operated “on condition” rather than by calendar limits.

Under CS-23.573 / FAR 23.573, a metallic power structure can remain in service without limit provided crack formation is monitored and critical size is not exceeded. Many all-metal fleets have safely passed 50,000–60,000 flight hours under proper non-destructive inspection programs.

By contrast, composite wings are certified with a Design Service Goal (DSG) typically 20,000–25,000 hours (AC 20-107B). After that point recertification or replacement is required, since internal delaminations are hard to detect and their growth is difficult to track.

Additionally, composites are sensitive to long—term ultraviolet radiation and thermal cycles when stored in the open air - the matrix shallows, cracks, and loses rigidity. A metal wing is unaffected by solar radiation; its life is not limited by the calendar. Keeping it looking new requires only periodic painting.
