"We have great growth opportunities ahead, and Craig's talent
and experience in aircraft development and manufacturing will be a

now look forward to Craig providing his production experience to
quickly ramp up deliveries to six aircraft per month to meet this

"I'm delighted to be joining such a talented team and to be
associated with the A500 and the A700 aircraft," said Craig

"These carbon-composite aircraft represent next-generation twin
piston and jet engine designs and embody extremely strong
construction with highly safe centerline thrust. I am excited to
lead the transition to production and the delivery ramp up of both
of these aircraft."
