Hey sky, excellent video. We dont get alot of quality videos here in North America about the Russian aviation industry as a whole and even less about the Russian general aviation industry in particular. So hearing about this company is very cool. I hope they are able to expand their markets out this way to the wild, wild west. Several of my fellow GA pilot friends here in the New Orleans area have commented that they would love to find a new metal constructed aircraft that was reliable and affordable. These qualities can be found to a degree but is always short in one aspect or another. Used, metal construction, affordable. New, affordable, composite, ect. It is well known here in the states that Russians build amazing aircraft but trying to find a certified Russian aircraft here is tricky. The machines these people are building seem like really good aircraft and I will be following their development closely and wishing them nothing but true success. Thanks again for the video.
@14:15 "And you, dear aviators, fly big planes but do not forget about small ones. There are many bonuses and emotions here." Sky went all "poet" on us.
I saw an Interview with the AGAN founders, they told that they are going tô open a branch of the Company in Florida US. You can see the Interview, It is on TH-cam on the Experimental Aircraft Channel.
@@tousifzaman9392 The economic sanctions are directed at specific firms, government apparatuses, and specific individuals, its not a total economic blockade. Unless they're being funded by the Kremlin, or have one of the sanctioned individuals/firms behind them, no they should not find issues starting in the US. Other smaller Russian firms have US operations.

Great video! I flew handglider, paragliders and ultralights for many years - loved (nearly...), evert second of it. Im deeply impressed with this company. Their designs looks very good indeed. And the office is greeat 😉👍
I love Russia. If it were not for Russia, we may all be speaking German and this exchange may be written in German. Many nations contributed to destroying the evil Nazis. But Russia dealt the final defeat for the Nazis. Thank you Russia. Much respect and love from Canada. I love the video. Keep them coming.
Agan Aviation reminds me of the earliest aviation pioneers who ventured into the unknown with limited funding but rich with technical skills and a dream. To that I say climb higher be creative and the success you desire will be yours. Thanks for this great vid.
This trend is gaining momentum all over the world. Even in Tunisia we now have a small company called AVIONAV by two engineers who produce Cesna like planes.
I completely do not support the idea of a single strut on each wing. This while idea does not follow the principle of redundancy and backup in the case of a part failure On the other hand, I really do praise the work of these young entrepreneurs. Kudos and long live AGAN Aircraft

It would be cool if you did more full company or national profiles. For example you could do most or all of the Canadian British companies of the 20th century in one video, De Havilland Canada, Avro Canada, Bristol Canada etc.
Great that you decided to explore GA as well. Business tip to the Agan guys - take a look at deHavilland creations. Beavers, Otters, Twin Otters are still in very high demand. Their modern copy or successor would be a hit.
Only a personal point of view: The Complete Package, would be the option (with the penalty of increased price) for a Good Ol´Super Reliable Lycoming engine option.
The UL engine is a very reliable engine that has been around for several years now. They are becoming very popular here in the USA, and hundreds have been flying in Europe for years now. I prefer the UL power plant over the Rotax any day because of the direct drive and air cooled fuel injection.
The 155 has some some inspiration from the Fieseler Storch by its looks and I am sure many improvements some of which are surely due to modern materials and production methods but the Storch was an awesome and likely the original STOL design. I do really like the Fowler flaps of the 155 but think you could do better by putting a PBS TP 100 power plant in the nose. Best, R.C.Christian
Promising but can they grow with big opponent from Boeing and Airbus?.. Russia much have talent as world have.. I hope they can grow with medium or event larger Airplane..
And, please, if you're going to fly an ultralight through uncontrolled airspace, invest in a portable air to air radio so you can hear when other people are close to you and can squawk to let other aircraft know you're in the pattern. It helps everyone, especially you, since you're a pretty tiny speck in the sky.
Would be interested in a translation of the cockpit since I only know a few words of spoken Russian (mostly military terms I've picked up from video games) and can't read Cyrillic, at least not yet anyways.
Cyrillic is pretty easy to learn. Especially if you already know a lot of Greek letters. Once you learn it, you'll start to see words that are almost exactly the same as they are in English.
The main problem of Russian aviation industry is primarily the engines. The cannot compered with foreign analogues and worst they don't have products at all. I believe there must focus the efforts not only government but private sector also.
hey, skyships eng. i really love ure videos. u explain everything so nice and calm its almost asmr to my ears! one question: are you maybe interested to make a video about the fokker 70 airplanes? they seem to not get a lot of attention while they where the mainstay planes for klm cityhopper for a while! so it would be nice to see a video of them!
Sky, why not feature another small ship. One just about every aviator has flown and which has a long and interesting history and is still in production today. That is the Piper PA28. Unlike the Cessna 172, it’s designers set out to make as idiot proof as possible at the time. I have flown many PA28 and they are extremely forgiving aircraft.
If this aircraft is being designed for the American market, better think about putting English words on the panel. I would like to know more about the in house avionics. Not much was said about them.

Russia rarely comes close to copy others - but there is 1-2 that cross the line (not planes) - same for the US. Unlike China directly copying US (blackhawk) or Russian planes - clearly crossing the line.
Continuing the Russian tradition of never spending one Ruble on making any vehicle look good. What's Russian for armadillo? Step back from the vodka, boys.
interesting GN 155 if have 4 seat model, have usefull good plane country inside flying tarvell, you need build one 4 seat model and send thailand for me, i think this have good sell here many want this model if have cheap 4 seat model, russian guality and material 190 000$ plane need cost 30 000$ then have realistic guality/price. thenspeaking russian aircrafts no have world best and no can newer cost same than western planes. but send one to thailand i know many want buy if no cost lot.
This small aircraft design firm is very forward thinking and interesting. They develop their own avionics? That's so cool!
these guys should get one of those at the Oshkosh air show

I'd love to see that

a little mistake but all people make mistakes. Continue the good work
I think I would enjoy the engineering even more than flying the planes.
So would I in fact)

0:49 that plane LITERALLY looks like it has the Air New Zealand livery
Yeah. I think that was the point mabye. Idk. Looks cool tho
Yes, this Kiwi noticed that too. Excellent craftsmanship, a beautiful looking aircraft.
NZ is a small country, I think this sized plane is perfect for Air New Zealand
It certainly does look like the Air New Zealand livery love the kiwi on the tail awesome
I trust that Air New Zealand will have their lawyers on the case as that is a Trade Mark Logo.
Very nice! I'd love to fly one! These guys are living the dream.
That was really interesting. Lovely little plane.
Love the swept wing avatar morphing into a straight winged one, nice touch at defining what the subject matter ahead is going to be.
I'd love to fly that 155. Gorgeous airplane! Thank you, Sky!

Resembles a Zenith CH 801.
With that paint job looks like it belongs in new Zealand
I honestly thought it was a plane from Pacific Air Corp... until I saw the Russian registration
@@alienbeef0421 it looks alot more like a airnewzealand a320 tail livery than pacific air.
Yeah most likely was for a nz customer
@@anonymouswriter448 i thought it was a plane built by PAC, because it has a fern for a livery lmao
@@alienbeef0421 Look who I found randomly lmao
As usual, all your vids are comprehensive in every detail. The California accent is a nice touch too. отлично
this a copy of two seat Zenith 701, i got the four seat 801, i wish these young men would concentrate on new design, wish them the best.
Actually, I think it's a copy of the 750 cruiser, but yeah, they're totally just ripping off Zenith.
Definately more like the Zenith CH 750 Cruzer and even the same engine and weights/performance.
Love the silver fern and the flying Kiwi on the tail. Is this plane destined for New Zealand? I sure hope so. Cheers
Great to see new kind of aircrafts in your videos ! I love all planes !
❤️Agan, AWESOM video
This aircraft sure looks a lot nicer than the Zenith. Much more pleasing to the eyes for sure! Thanks for the video.
Does Air New Zealand know you stole their livery?
Lol good observation!
@Cream Michael Me too. WTF!
Ah, a new Sky video, clicked like, now sit back and enjoy :)

Are they going to seek FAA certification (probably as an LSA?). If so, the $75K price tag will send shockwaves through the US GA market.
Yeah, but in other countries it will be 75K + toll and shipping. Even varied VAT depending on the country. 100K + is more likely.
Right now it is too heavy for light sport. But the rules are in the process of being changed and it is likely that this plane will be allowed.

this broomstick at 3:55 instead of a suction plate as a hold-down is so typical Russian working style!

Great video. A very interesting plane, this AGAN prototype. 👍🏻
Impressive
Would be interested in a translation of the cockpit since I only know a few words of spoken Russian (mostly military terms I've picked up from video games) and can't read Cyrillic, at least not yet anyways.
Cyrillic is pretty easy to learn. Especially if you already know a lot of Greek letters. Once you learn it, you'll start to see words that are almost exactly the same as they are in English.
Nice simply nice !! Could it use other type of engines or are you trying to keep the legacy engines ?

Why your choice of varitey (by the way very colourful) lacks Russian helicopters?
