Redefining the Ultralight Helicopter

Date: 2013 – 2015

The Challenge

The Cicaré 8 was created to be the flagship of the brand. Our goal was to design a cabin that not only honored the engineering legacy of Augusto Cicaré but also elevated the perceived quality of the product. 

Lead Cabin Design

I was in charge of the complete cabin design process. This wasn’t just about styling; it was about structural and functional integration.

• Concept to Reality: We moved from sketches and specifications to a rigorous 3D modeling process.

• Manufacturing Ready: We delivered a 3D model ready for CNC machining of the molds. This ensured that the final carbon fiber parts had perfect continuity and reflection, a rarity in the ULM segment.

The Result

We achieved a unique design that sets a new standard in the ultralight segment. The Cicaré 8 combines aerodynamic efficiency with a comfortable, high-visibility cockpit, proving that in aviation, beauty is a byproduct of efficiency.
