Continental Teases Major Announcements ... Next Year

There have been a lot of ups and downs in the realm of General Aviation over the past several years, but Rhett Ross, President and CEO of Continental Motors Group, says he's excited about the industry's future.

Speaking with Aero-News Editor in Chief Jim Campbell at AirVenture 2018, Ross said that at Continental Motors, they are now moving forward with focus. The customer service team and global sales team are being built out, and the engineering team is doing some really "awesome stuff" ... which of course he can't discuss.

But next year, he said, "we're not going to stop talking from the first show of the season all the way to the end of the year" about new products and services.

The company is constructing a new manufacturing facility. The company said in August that building a new factory is only one part of the $75 million plan to profoundly transform Continental Motors and the way the company designs, manufactures, certifies, and supports diverse product line. CMG is also building a new customer and technology development infrastructure that will allow its team members to better focus on building customer satisfaction and develop innovative new products.

Ross said that Continental Motors is committed to the GA industry, and offers a full range of engines for nearly any application. But the overall message for this year was "stay tuned for 2019.
