The company is noted as one of very few light aircraft manufacturers located in Portugal, a country not known for aircraft production.
BRM's aircraft are built with aluminium sheet "all-metal" construction. The company's first light two-seat STOL design was the BRM Okavango, which was superseded by the BRM Land Africa. The BRM Citius is an improved model, with a higher cruise speed. The company also produces a low-wing design, the two-seat BRM Argos.
The Citius is based on the MXP 740 and has some solutions also found on the MXP 1000, both designs from Colombian Engineer Max Tedesco.
