Welcome to Britten-Norman

Britten-Norman was formed more than 50 years ago as a specialist in aircraft modifications. Today the company is a thriving international aerospace company with a broad range of aviation interests centred around its manufacturing operation. The company has seven sites in the UK as well as operations in the USA and Australia.

Since the launch of the original BN2 Piston Islander in 1965, we have prided ourselves in building the most rugged and reliable Short Take Off & Landing (STOL) aircraft on the market. For the majority of our customers the Islander still provides the only viable solution for short sector and rough field operations.

The Islander - available from US$989,950
(VFR cockpit, cargo interior, ex factory)

Building on that original design, the company has since expanded the fleet to include the unique 18 seat, 3 engined Trislander and the 10 seat, Rolls-Royce turboprop powered Islander and Defender series aircraft.

The company specialises in low volume manufacture of bespoke solutions designed specifically to meet the customer's needs. All our aircraft are hand built to order and can incorporate either a selection of the 2000+ modifications that have been created to date, or a new modification package designed around your individual needs.

Defender 4000

Pre-owned Aircraft Sales

Capitalizing on the Islanders exceptional low speed handling characteristics, the Defender 4000's extended endurance, increased payload, low noise signature and economical operating costs are proving to be ideally suited to Urban Surveillance and Counter-Terrorism operations.

With recent purchases from police and military customers, the Defender 4000 is also proving popular in the Maritime Surveillance role.
