Citlamatapalli Aviation is a Zacapine general aviation manufacturer headuqartered in Tequitinitlan, Zacaco Republic. It is a subordinate organization to the larger commercial aircraft manufacturing callpolleh association Aztatl Association, founded as an offshoot of that confederation's activities specializing in smaller aircraft for leisure, utility and civil purposes other than transportation. Citlamatapalli specializes in piston powered aircraft which are generally smaller, cheaper and simpler than the far more complex passenger liners of its parent company. Citlamatapalli is comparatively prolific as a manufacturing firm as a result, producing over 100,000 single engine airplanes since its foundation in 1957. The light and versatile aircraft models produced in the Citlamatapalli affiliated calpolli factories can be found all over the world today thanks to their utility, low cost, ease of maintenance and minimal infrastructural requirements. The designs for Citlamatapalli aircraft have largely been drawn up by a single Lushyod family of engineers based in Angatahuaca, known by the surname Zabo, who have been making a living for decades from the exclusively liscencing payments of the manufacturer. Most of these designs are for high-wing single engine aircraft, with the wings located above the main body, offering better downward visibility. The company also manufactures a number of variants and accessory components for its aircraft, such as pontoons to convert many of its commercial aircraft into amphibious floatplanes.
