Adventure without compromise
The Norden, by Zlin Aviation is built for pilots who believe the journey isn't guided by a runway. It combines exceptional STOL capability with the speed, range, and comfort to keep exploring long after others have turned back.
Built around an innovative all-metal wing with electrically actuated leading-edge slats, it was designed for pilots who see every landing as the beginning of another adventure.
Launch offer
To celebrate our new Norden dealership, we’re offering a once-in-a-lifetime adventure with the first 3 Norden orders: a 7-day bush-flying training in the Alaskan wilderness.
Seven days of flying in one of the world’s most iconic backcountry environments. Learn from real bush pilots, explore remote strips and never land in the same place twice. An unique experience in the kind of environment the Norden was built for.
* Travel to and from Alaska not included.

The Norden is designed to keep you exploring. Combining true backcountry capability with the speed and efficiency of a modern sport aircraft, it opens the door to places beyond conventional airfields. Cruise to your next destination, land on a remote strip, and spend the night with our optional sleeping kit. Tomorrow begins exactly where you landed.
Our vision for the ideal modern bush plane evolved into a complete rethinking of the flying experience.
Built on Zlin’s nearly 25 years of continuous refinement in STOL aircraft design, the Norden gives you the confidence to venture farther, land where others turn back, and discover places few ever experience. Rugged, efficient, and remarkably capable, the Norden combines true backcountry performance with the speed, comfort, and range to make every journey as rewarding as the destination.
Every system, every feature, and every design choice was carefully considered to create an aircraft that feels intuitive, inspires confidence, and performs without compromise. By combining true STOL capability with the speed and range of a modern touring aircraft, the Norden redefines what's possible in a bush plane.

What are our
High Lift Devices?
The Norden's high-lift system combines electrically actuated leading-edge slats with large double-slotted flaps to maximize lift and controllability at low speeds. Deploying in just three seconds, the mechanically linked slats ensure perfectly symmetrical operation while reducing approach speeds by up to 8 knots.
The double slotted flaps also improve forward visibility on approach and can be used as powerful air brakes for steeper, more precise landings.Working together, both systems deliver exceptional STOL performance, allowing slower, steeper, and more precise approaches.
