Made in Portugal since 2003

A rover for the sky.

The Land Africa is an all-metal two-seater: robust, easy to fly and priced within reach. Learn on it, then take it wherever there is a short strip. Built by hand in Sintra, ready to fly or as a kit.

What we build

Honest aircraft for people who want to fly

  1. Affordable

    Flying should be within reach. Buy your aircraft ready to fly, or spread the cost by building it from a kit in four levels. A person at BRM quotes every aircraft.

  2. Robust

    All-metal airframes in aeronautical aluminium. Parts are cut on CNC machines, so they fit first time and can be replaced.

  3. Safe

    “A danger foreseen is half avoided” has been our motto from the start. A ballistic parachute and anti-rupture fuel tanks are available as options.

  4. Ideal for learning

    Precise and easy to fly. Flight schools train their students on the Land Africa.

  5. Made for adventure

    Slats, flaperons and big control surfaces for short strips. Grass, dirt or snow.

The tourer · high-wing two-seater

Citius

For when the trips get longer. Its name is Latin for “faster”: a clean wing, a wide cabin and all-round visibility.

Adventure

Go where the tarmac ends

The Land Africa is built for the kind of flying its name promises: short strips, rough fields and wide-open country.
