Cicaré S.A. (originally Cicaré Aeronáutica S.A. and later Cicaré Helicópteros S.A.) is an Argentine helicopter manufacturer founded by Augusto Cicaré in Saladillo, Buenos Aires Province in the 1970s to develop aircraft of his own design. A number of prototypes were constructed, including one under contract from the Argentine Air Force, but no great successes were achieved until the CH-7 light sporting helicopter in the 1990s.
In March 2007, the first prototype of a Cicaré CH-14, a light helicopter for the Argentine Army, was ready. On March 18, 2010, they presented the CH-7B and CH-12[1] during the EAA Argentina Annual Meeting.[2]
The company exports to Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Taiwan, China and Alaska.[3]
