Aeromot Aeronaves e Motores S.A is a Brazilian industrial group that markets aeronautical products.
It also developed and produced for the Brazilian Navy, from 1986 to 1990, an aircraft designed for anti-aircraft firing exercises called K1AM, but due to the high operational cost of the KD2R-5/K1AM systems, the program was not continued in the Brazilian Navy, which opted for lighter and cheaper systems.
[3] In 2003 negotiations for the technology transfer of the motor glider were started, with an intent to initially produce 150 aircraft, of which 50 by the end of 2004 and 100 five years later.
[4] Plans were delayed and the joint venture with the Chinese state-owned Guizhou Aviation Industries Corporation was supposed to start operations in 2009.
[6] In 20 years of aircraft manufacturing, Aeromot has totaled 178 Ximangos (sold to 16 countries) and 22 Guris.
