Title

Aviation Technology Group, Inc.

Description

It started with an idea—a dream. George Bye, ATG’s chairman and founder, dreamed of a civilian aircraft with the power and performance of a military fighter plane—an executive jet that was a synergy of the best that both aviation worlds have to offer.

From the rough sketch he made in October 1998, George Bye created a company—and the plane he dreamed of is well on its way to production. Founded in June 2000, Aviation Technology Group, Inc. (ATG) has grown into a company of over 100 employees dedicated to the design, development, and production of the Javelin executive jet and its derivatives for government markets. With some of the top engineering talent in the aviation industry, ATG is leading the way in the development of a cost-effective, high-performance jet.

Based at Centennial Airport in Englewood, Colorado, ATG harnesses the synergies of emerging technologies into the design, development, and production of the Javelin. The developmental prototype took flight on September 30, 2005 and continues to expand its flight test envelope to higher speeds and altitudes. FAA certification and first deliveries of the Javelin are projected for 2008.

Style and performance—combined with multifaceted utility—make the Javelin, its derivatives, and ATG an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. The dream of one man is becoming a reality—for many.

On 10/17/06 ATG Javelin Based at Centennial Airport in Englewood, Colorado LAID OFF 98 PERCENT of there contractors and some direct employees. This company only got about 4 million in the bank with a 150k payroll per week. I think its just a matter of time before it goes out of business along with all the investors money. I think you all should stay away from this company. I believe there company is a stock scam. They don't have stress engineers to look over designs, which is unsafe with all the stresses, its a flight safety issue. They don't have standard parts modeled or picked out to use. They don't have design specs. They don't have standard notes for the manufacturing of parts. No standard systems design guilds. There should be common fasteners, common multi use brackets, common Eddie bolts and rivets. There using all kinds of standard parts, mixed. This small start up company is a risk, don't waste your time or money, sell you stocks, don't invest with them. They don't have manufacture tools modeled. How can you install a bolt if you don't have the wrench modeled? You can't. They don't have sheet metal license, how to build sheet metal parts with out a flat pattern? They don't have the tubing license, how to you get all x,yz, cords with out it? Invest and you will lose. Aviation Technology Group, Inc.

The Israeli air force appears to have stepped back from becoming the possible launch customer for a military trainer version of the Javelin very light jet, citing the type’s lack of “proven experience” as a problem. “On paper the potential is excellent, but we don’t like to be the first customer for any aircraft,” says a senior service official.

Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) is teamed with the USA’s Aviation Technology Group (ATG) to develop and market two military variants of the Javelin, which made its first flight in the Mk10 civilian standard last September and is expected to receive certification during 2008 (Flight International, 11-17 October 2005).

ATG and IAI plan to manufacture a Mk20 basic trainer version that will be identical in size to the civil-standard Javelin, but will be equipped with ejection seats and military avionics. To be manufactured in Israel by IAI, the Mk20 will be powered by two Williams International FJ33-4 engines with a thrust rating of around 1,500lb (6.7kN).

To also be manufactured by IAI, a proposed Mk30 version would have more powerful engines, requiring the companies to redesign the aft fuselage section. To be offered as a replacement for lead-in trainers such as the Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet, McDonnell Douglas TA-4 Skyhawk and Northrop T-38 Talon, the aircraft will have a unit cost of $6-8 million, according to IAI.

The company had originally hoped to launch development of the Mk20 and Mk30 military versions this year, but it is unclear whether the Israeli air force’s reluctance to commit to the project could threaten this schedule.
