The new flying replica of the Fairey III D “Santa Cruz”

The Trans-Atlantic Crossing requires an  high-performance aircraft. Even in today’s times, the technical requirements of a huge range and a biplane, with floats and an open cockpit are difficult to reconcile.

For 2022, we would like the new Lusitânia 2022 aircraft to be able to recreate the main moments of the Crossing, namely in Portugal and Cape Verde.

This will not be possible, because the plane’s technical project, although well underway, has been delayed.
