Who we are

Ximango USA is the North American source for Ximango Touring Glider aircraft. We act as consultants for the Brazilian manufacturer, Grupo Aeromot, a long-established aircraft manufacturing company based in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Ximango USA is your one-stop source for aircraft, factory spare parts and factory service support.

Ximango USA was formed in 1995 by three pilots who all had fallen in love with the graceful lines and the superb flying characteristics of the Super Ximango. We decided to try to introduce it to the North American sport aviation market because it was so good and because there was really nothing like it available. From the first, our marketing approach at Ximango USA has consisted of high-profile exposure and low-key selling. High-profile exposure began in 1995, as our group set FAI World Records ferrying the first three new aircraft, as a formation, from Brazil to the USA, ending up at the EAA Convention in Oshkosh. Magazine coverage followed, and we have been featured in, to name a few, Private Pilot, the Robb Report, Plane & Pilot and Soaring, the magazine of the SSA. ESPN included the Super Ximango in one of its programs. Quite differently, our approach to a prospective owner is a very personal one, pilot-to-pilot and low-key. All of us are life-long pilots. We believe we know and fly the aircraft well. We have each been to Grupo Aeromot’s factory a number of times to see the aircraft made and to participate in business plannning. We all have flown at least one ferry flight from Brazil to the USA. We believe in the aircraft and in its manufacturer, Grupo Aeromot. With such an outstanding aircraft to sell, our focus when we talk to a prospective owner is understanding his or her objectives and communicating about the Super Ximango. When we fly with a prospective owner, it's to understand how he or she will use the aircraft and to tailor the flight to fit that goal. If it's a fit, in all honesty, the aircraft sells itself!
