The Bravo 700 was a small, two-seat civil utility aircraft manufactured by Aero Bravo in Brazil in both kit and ready-to-fly form. It is a high-wing monoplane of metal construction with fixed tricycle undercarriage and is classed as an ultralight under Brazilian aviation regulations. An agricultural version, the Bravo 700 Agrícola with spraying gear and a chemical tank with a capacity of 140 L (37 US gal) has been developed to flight-testing stage.^[1]^[2]

The Bravo 700 is a development of the Colombian Aeroandina MXP-740, designed by Max Tedesco.

In the 1990s, Brazilian Engineer Fabio Homem de Carvalho Filho imported a few MXP-740 from Colombia to Brazil. Later, he made an agreement with Max Tedesco and developed his own version, which is the Bravo 700.

One hundred and twenty six units of the Bravo 700 were built in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, from 1996 to 2016.
