The Product
In 1998 Miguel Rosario, an engineer, designer and draftsman conceived his 22nd project, the Seamax M-22, an aircraft that became a worldwide success. Since 2001, Rosário dedicated his time and efforts to the development and prototype testing of the Seamax M-22.
The first M-22 aircraft was delivered in 2002. In 2004, the United States FAA introduced a new category for General Aviation, called Light-Sport Aircraft - LSA, in which Seamax was immediately classified. In 2008, the Seamax M-22 was certified by the FAA in the S-LSA category (Special Light-Sport Aircraft). In 2012 Seamax was awarded “Outstanding Best Commercial S-LSA” at the renowned Sun'n Fun Aviation Expo in Lakeland, Florida.
Today, after nineteen years of Research and Development and continuous improvements and enhancement, the Seamax aircraft is certified by Aviation Authorities in 19 countries and has sold 150 units in 20+ countries.
The Seamax M-22 has appeared on more than 40 specialized aircraft magazine covers all over the world and simultaneously became a model for FAA Certification standards for the LSA category.
