About Sama Aircraft Series
Dubai 2005 Airshow With our experience and market knowledge, JAI dedicated its Design & Engineering Bureau to develop a state of the art training and tactical surveillance platforms to serve the great need of the regional and worldwide market. The result is the Sama Aircraft Series with five different versions providing complete solutions for all civil and military training and surveillance needs. 
US Airforce The original CH2000 has been in production since early 1996, with already over 175 aircraft flying. The certified and upgradeable Sama Aircraft Series are Utility / Normal category and IFR/VFR Night rated. Manufactured out of aluminum, the aircraft is tough and easy to maintain. Depending on user’s requirement the aircraft are powered by Lycoming engines ranging from 116 hp and up to 180 hp with the option of a diesel engine. The Sama CH2000 has been in service since 2004 in the Iraqi Air Force through a direct purchase by the US Army. Working with the US army, the US Airforce and the Iraqi Airforce has facilitated our leap in the technology of aircraft manufacturing to become a regional leader in the field. The latest versions of the Sama CH2000 come from a similar history with a crosswind ability of an amazing 25 knots thus similar to rotary wing aircraft. The Sama CH2000 is durable with low purchase and operating costs and low maintenance. It also incorporates numerous improvements such as the extended cabin, enhanced range and endurance, increased payload, electronic flight instruments and the scope to integrate a wide range of specialist mission equipment. The Sama Aircraft Series cruise speed ranges from 100 up to 160 knots and have exceptional low-speed handling and maneuvering capabilities at around 50-70 knots allowing for continuous tight turns during low level observation, inspection and photography. At this low speed it has an endurance exceeding 8 hours assisted by an extended fuselage and larger wings which has been developed for improved fuel capacity. Sama FutureWith the proven track records of the Sama CH2000 & CH2000A we are currently in the middle of the R&D phase of transforming these two models to be totally unmanned. Through our mother company JAI, we can provide a complete unmanned solution for the Sama CH2000 & CH2000A including the autopilot system and ground stations. To this end, and as part of our customer service policy we offer our Sama CH2000 & CH2000A customers upgrade packages at cost. The Sama 2020G2 is the product that meets all challenges in that we produced a technically and operationally advanced model that not only meets but also easily beat all its American and European rivals. The current version of the Sama 2020G2 performs better at low operating and maintenance costs. Additionally the competitive pricing and our unique regional location add to the aircraft advantages. As we already have the certification for the Sama 2020G2 operating on Mogas and in process of obtaining the Diesel engine certification our future plan is the Sama 2020G2-I powered by 180/200 hp engine as well as the product of 2009 the twin engine Sama 2020G2-II. |
