Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The acquisition aims to preserve access to parts and technical knowledge for owners and builders of aircraft such as Rebel, Elite, and Yukon. Murphy Aircraft Manufacturing had closed after failing to pay creditors, a situation linked to the legal troubles of its Chinese owner and MAM's slow reaction to rising costs.
