About the Symphony Aircraft Industries SA-160

The Symphony SA-160 is a two-seat, single-engine composite aircraft developed by Symphony Aircraft Industries, a company with roots in both Israeli and American aviation engineering. First certified in the early 2000s, the SA-160 was designed as a modern training and personal aircraft combining composite construction with traditional low-wing configuration. Powered by a Lycoming IO-320 engine producing 160 horsepower, it features a sleek fiberglass fuselage and offers respectable performance for its class, with a cruise speed around 135 knots and useful load approaching 600 pounds.

The type represents an attempt to bring composite efficiency and modern ergonomics to the entry-level and training market, competing against established metal aircraft like the Piper Warrior and Cessna 172. Though production numbers remained modest compared to legacy manufacturers, the SA-160 found a niche among flight schools and private owners seeking something different from the standard trainer fleet. Its operating envelope is typical for a modern two-seat trainer: never-exceed speed of 165 knots, structural cruising speed of 135 knots, and stall speeds in the high 40s to low 50s depending on configuration.

SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators over routes, with the largest observed operator.
