Philippine Aerospace R&D, Engineering and Manufacturing History

December 17, 1903, Kitty Hawk, Carolina USA.

The Wright Flyer flew the first time. It was designed and built by Wilbur and his brother Orville Wright. The Wright Flyer is the first
powered machine to achieve controlled sustained flight with pilot . ---- this date was significant because on:

February 21, 1911, Manila.

The first aircraft flew in the Philippine skies piloted by James (Bud) Cairn Mars during the Paco Carnival festival. The aircraft was designed
and built by Tod Shriver (he actually modified a Curtiss P18 biplane). This aircraft first flew in Hawaii (December 19, 1910) and was
christened as the Skylark. Hence the aircraft that first flew in the Philippine sky was known as Shriver Skylark.

Tod Shriver together with James Mars, Cecil Peoli and William “Billy” Badger belongs to a team that do aerial performances whose
company was owned by Thomas Scott Baldwin. They toured countries around the world, making many historic flights.

1990

A. Société d’Etudes et de Fabrications Aéronautiques (SEFA) of France moved their factory in People Technology Complex (PTC)
Carmona Cavite, under the name of SEFA Asia Inc.

SEFA produces hydraulic tool kit for aircraft and helicopters. They were also producing composite skis for Eurocopter. SEFA was the
original designer and sole source of skis for SA341 Gazelle, SA 342 Gazelle, AS350 Ecureuil, AS355 Ecureuil, AS365 Dauphin and
AS332 Super Puma. A composite aircraft hydraulic cart was one of the design projects undertaken by this author.

SEFA Asia announced the design and construction of a composite, single engine amphibian aircraft called ‘The Sea Bird’ during the
Aviation, Maritime and Defense show ‘93 in Manila. This author was a design engineer of this aircraft.

B. ACT Lancair 320 with registration RP-X320 attended the (5th) Asian Aerospace ‘90 in Singapore (February 14-18, 1990). The aircraft
was flown from Manila-Palawan-Brunei-Singapore and back without any problem. ACT made a history as the first Philippine
company that attended this prestigious airshow.

After the successful flight of RP-X320 to Singapore, a tripartite agreement was signed between Aviation Composite Technology,
Aerotech Industries (Philippines) Inc. and the PADC to develop and manufacture an all composite military trainer aircraft. The
design of this aircraft will be based on the Lancair 320 airframe. This military trainer aircraft will be introduced as the Apache 1.
(The project did not progress due to the ACT’s unfortunate event of 1991.)

1991

A. The 1991 curse touched ACT’s President and the Lancair RP-X320. A fatal crashed accident involving Mr. Robert Scheaffer happened on
March 9, 1991 (Saturday) just a couple of days before the 2nd Aviation and Airport Support ‘91/Defence ‘91 Exhibition (March 11-17,
1991) in Villamor Air Base, Pasay City.

At around 3:40 pm, Robert took off at runway 13 to practice his flight maneuvers with the RP-X320 for exhibition. After some
gentlemen’s aerobatic maneuvers, Robert made a full throttle low altitude flyby on runway 31 and immediately made a very steep
left turn while trying to make altitude. The aircraft stalled and crashed landed in front of the Old MIA terminal building. Robert did not
survive the aircraft crash impact on the ground which left a 2 feet deep crater.

A new president was appointed for ACT and by September 1991, ACT’s Manila office officially shut down. Pacific Aeronautical Inc.
(PAI) took over the aircraft production/manufacturing capability of ACT. The whole ACT’s aircraft production/manufacturing operations
including personnel were transferred to Mactan Export Processing Zone (MEPZA) Cebu . (It is to be noted that ACT priorly planned to
transfer the operation to Mexico instead of Mactan. However, the transfer to Mexico did not materialize after Mr Scheafffer died.)

ACT/PAI finished another flyable Lancair 320 aircraft Serial no.: 1003P (RP-X321) that belongs to a customer and shipped out of the
country. Another Lancair 320 Serial No.: 1002P (RP-X328) was built, subcontracted by ACT employees outside of the company.

The Lancair 320 ceases production and replaced by the newer version Lancair ES, Lancair IV. As of this date, PAI was producing kits for
the latest Lancair model – Legacy and Evolution.

TRIVIA: The 1991 airshow featured star Russian pilots Viktor Georgivevich Pugachev (who
demonstrated the famous Pugachev's Cobra maneuver on his SU-27 ) and Jurgis
Kayris (flying a hyperactive aerobatic routine on a SU-26M).

Capt Panfilo Villaruel became the new president of PADC replacing Prudencio Reyes. Capt Villaruel immediately cancelled ARD project and
pushed on the Defiant 500 (dubbed as the Centennial) and the X-100A Hummingbird Helicopter.

May 08, 1998

The hummingbird lifted off ground but because of lack of registration it only stayed in front of PADC building. The program was shut down a
couple of months later. The Commission On Audit recommended stopping the project here. Pls read PADC Article to learn more about it.

The Airbus Helicopter threatened to sue PADC/the Philippines for patent infringement because accordingly, Hummingbird was a modified
version of their helicopter.

There’s a plethora of misinformation out there and it is my


intention to amend them. For example: (1) Famous Secret
Precision Machining made the first aircraft in the
Philippines – Fact: No they did not. ; (2) PADC
Hummingbird/Defiant projects were a joint venture with
PAF – Fact: No. They were all PADC projects; and then
there’s more. I trust this presentation and the upcoming
book will once and for all stop the fiction as I present to
you the facts.

This has taken me forever than I anticipated


but I assure you that it will worth the wait. So
much documents/information has been
accumulated and I am excited to share them all
to you. By the way, WIG/Hovercraft will not be
discussed here. - J
