Javelin Prototype Construction Continues As ATG Opens New Hangar And R&D

Expansion At Centennial

Aviation Technology Group says it plans to expand its headquarters at Centennial Airport in Englewood, CO. The new facilities will now include two hangars totaling 12,800 additional square feet that will be used for the continuing research and development of the Javelin Executive Jet.

The new research and development facilities will add about a dozen jobs to the ATG roster to include mechanics, test pilots and engineers. The research and development facilities will be used for functional testing and for making modifications to the Javelin demonstrator prototype. ATG engineering is coordinating with the FAA on details in preparation for first flight.

In the last two months, ATG engineers and mechanics say they have reached many milestones in building the Javelin. The fuel tank, ejection seats and landing gear were assembled and fitted to the plane, and the prototype was painted with primer coat. Recently, the mechanics conducted a series of tests. The engine was on both internal batteries and an external power cart, the starting system was powered up and tested, and the main power distributor, voltmeter and external power control were turned on and tested. All tests were successful. Engineers and mechanics are now completing final assembly before the plane is taken apart and shipped to the testing site. ATG Flight Operation team will then begin final testing and preparation for the first flight.

The Javelin demonstrator prototype will be used to evaluate aircraft performance, handling qualities, and selected system installations. ATG says the results of this testing will be assessed and changes made as necessary for incorporation into the FAA-certified production Javelin.
