After the project was terminated and the three unfinished aircraft were transferred to the Air Park Zruc u Pizne and all was doom and gloom (see Ceri's mail) an agreement was made in 2011 to sell all know how jigs and tools to Belarus for production to start there in 2015. I know not whether this has happened.

IBIS and the AE270 spirit is defunked and now gone. Never to be seen again. Reason was due to the lack of funding from the Tiwan(Chinese) half, after Aero of Chez spent hundreds of millions building, design and marketing on ten of them along with certification. They closed the door on it, as it interfeared with their miltary productions. Sad as it was one heck of a cool aircraft though. I guess Socata TBM850, Platius PC-12, Epic Aircraft line up and New Piper are going to cash in on this catagory of aircraft now.

There is a strong interest for cooperation with Aero
Vodochody Ae-270 W (Walter M601F engine) by a group to be
based at Neuhardenberg airport to organize regional air
cargo transport in Africa. Best regards, Dr. Horst Bloch
