conventionally on the rudder pedal toes. Prior to Symphony's bankruptcy, plans for the design included a 180 hp version to be called the SA-180 and a floatplane or amphibious floatplane version. Options The SA-160 was offered with an Avidyne glass cockpit Entegra EXP5000 Primary Flight Display, Entegra EX5000 Multi-Function Display and EMax Engine Indication System to replace the standard round instruments fitted. A Ballistic Recovery Systems whole aircraft parachute system was also available. Other options included a TAS 600 Traffic Advisory System and a Sensenich two bladed fixed pitch climb propeller to replace the MT two bladed wood/composite propeller. On April 3, 2006 Symphony Aircraft announced that a tuned exhaust system made by Power Flow Systems would be offered as an option on the SA-160. This US$1600 option was forecast to give a 10% improvement in rate of climb to about 781 ft/min, an increased optimal cruise speed of about 5 knots to about 133 knots, or 0.5 to 1.5 US gallon per hour decrease in fuel burn, down to about 7.5 US gallons per hour. Pricing In 2006 Symphony offered the basic VFR equipped SA-160 for US$154,900, the IFR version for US$169,900 and the glass cockpit equipped version for US$214,900. Production The SA-160 entered production as the OMF-100-160 Symphony in 2001 and 40 aircraft were completed before OMF went out of business in December 2003. Production resumed at Symphony Aircraft Industries with the first SA-160 aircraft delivered on 13 May 2005. By June 2006 production had ceased as Symphony Aircraft Industries sought additional capital to resume production. On 22 January 2007, the company declared bankruptcy and ceased operations. On 3 February 2008 it was publicly announced that Lou Simons, the former lead investor in Symphony Aircraft, was planning to restart production of the SA-160 under the company name North American Factory for Technologically Advanced Aircraft (NAFTAA). The new company announced in July 2008 that they intended to restart production by the end of 2009 at the previous plant in Trois-Rivières, Québec. They intended to produce 15 aircraft in 2009 and increase production to 50 to 80 per year by 2012. The aircraft would be given a new name and would have been available in a VFR version intended for flight school use, a basic IFR version, and a glass cockpit equipped version powered by a 200-hp Lycoming IO-390 powerplant giving it a forecast cruise speed of 148 knots.
