CB.1 Gaivota , type designation: CEA-101 is a single-seat glider in high - wing construction , which was designed in 1963 in Brazil at the Centro de Estudos Aeronáuticos da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (abbreviated: CEA) and by students of aeronautical engineering "Departamento de Engenharia Mecânica" ( DEMEC) was built.
The design comes from the Portuguese engineer and professor Cláudio Pinto de Barros. The CEA-101 was of great importance for the further development of aviation in Minas Gerais . The "Aeroclube Mineiro de Planadores" (Minas Gerais Glider Pilot Association) used the machine as a training aircraft until the early 1980s. After that, the CB.1 was lost for a while in a hangar. In 2001 it was restored with the help of former DEMEC students and aviation enthusiasts of the CEA and has been airworthy again since 2003 with the registration PP-ZTZ.
