Based in
Englewood, Colorado, Aviation Technology
Group, Inc. was incorporated in June of
2000 to harness the synergies of
emerging technologies into the design,
development, and production of the
Javelin Executive Jet and its
derivatives, including the Javelin
Advanced Jet Trainer.
The first Javelin
developmental prototype took flight in
September 30, 2005. FAA certification
and first deliveries of the Javelin are
projected to take place in 2008.
Non-military
Javelin utility is broad. In addition to
owner-flown transportation there are a
number of additional uses. Charter, air
taxi, civil turbine pilot training, high
altitude atmospheric, meteorological, UV
& IR experiment support, aerial video
and photography.
ATG is working
with Israel Aircraft Industries to
market the Javelin Mk-20, a
5th-generation military jet trainer, to
friends and allies around the world. At
one third the cost of current military
trainers.
With
performance being the key requirement,
the Javelin will utilize next
generation, high bypass ratio, wide-fan
technology engines. The two engines will
combine to produce a thrust to weight
ratio greater than the supersonic USAF
T-38, Talon, and will be FAA certified
to aerobatic standards. The Javelins
long range is guaranteed by the engines
high fuel specifics. |
