Parts distributor and manufacturer GlobalParts Group, of Augusta, Kan., has acquired the type certificates to two Meyers Aircraft designs, including the Interceptor I-400 single-engine pressurized turboprop that earned FAA approval but never went into production. There are about 100 Meyers 200 aircraft still flying and GlobalParts will assume parts supply and support for those aircraft. The aircraft was certified in the 1960s and there is an active type group for the owners of the well-respected aircraft, some of which were built by Rockwell as Aero Commanders. "We're looking forward to establishing a strong and ongoing relationship with them," said CEO Troy Palmer. But the company also appeared to leave open the possibility of starting production of one or both of the designs.
