3I Sky Arrow
The Sky Arrow is a tandem seat, pusher configuration, high wing and carbon fibre light aircraft that was manufactured by 3I (Iniziative Industriali Italiane). With only 16½ inches of hip room, the aircraft is considered open due to a large amount of unobstructed view from the large canopy, rear engine, and seating positions ahead of the wing.
3I entered bankruptcy proceedings in 2008 and in 2012 the design was purchased by Magnaghi Aeronautica, of Naples, Italy.

Famous quotes containing the words sky and/or arrow:
“Tried by a New England eye, or the more practical wisdom of modern times, they are the oracles of a race already in its dotage; but held up to the sky, which is the only impartial and incorruptible ordeal, they are of a piece with its depth and serenity, and I am assured that they will have a place and significance as long as there is a sky to test them by.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“O Russia! O my wife! Our long and narrow Road lies clear though distressed.
Our road with an old Tatar freedom’s arrow Has deeply pierced our breast.”
—Alexander Blok (1880–1921)
