OVERVIEW

 

American Aviation Industries (AAI) is raising $37 million to make personal and corporate air travel safer, faster, and more affordable by remanufacturing high-end, piston-powered aircraft from the airframe up. Superior comfort, luxury, and sophistication with increased power, safety and greatly increased speed

 

  • Meets or exceeds the capability of any new aircraft in its class for substantially less money. The performance even exceeds that of some entry level light jets, which cost significantly more 

 

  • Addresses the growing need for modern, efficient, and affordable personal and corporate aircraft, particularly focusing on enhancing access to smaller airports through its redesigned aircraft capabilities

 

  • Capital raised will be strategically used to scale production, enhance technological advancements, and expand market presence, ensuring AAI continues to innovate and lead in the twin-engine aircraft remanufacturing sector

THE PROBLEM

 

  • Inferior reliability of piston power plants resulting in lowered operational safety and reliability

 

  • Obsolete avionics, fuel availability, and maintenance costs further reduce operability and safety

 

  • Lower travel speed and power means lowered desirability and application

 

  • Limited range and amenities means reduced usability

 

  • Affordability of comparable new aircraft

VALUE PROPOSITION

  • Addresses demand for modern, efficient and affordable personal and corporate aircraft

 

  • Access (small airports)

 

  • Flexibility (limited commercial availability)

 

  • Solves for the environmental impacts associated with 100 low-lead aviation fuel,which is being sunset/phased out and has extremely limited availability outside the US

 

  • Expands availability and accessibility of luxury twin-engine personal, corporate and FAA Charter Operator Aircraft

 

  • Optimizes remaining airframe lifespan exceeding 25+ years

UNIQUE MARKET POSITIONING

  • Greater aircraft capability

 

  • More amenities & increased connectivity (wi-fi, device charging)

 

  • State of the art sophistication in avionics

 

  • Optimization of airframe lifespan

 

  • Significantly lower acquisition cost

 

  • Greatly improved aircraft performance-Leader in its class

 

  • Enhanced safety and reliability

WHY AAI?

 

  • More than 150 years cumulative experience in the aerospace industry

 

  • Proven track record of industry success

 

  • Poised to execute

 

  • Scale to leverage increased demand for private aircraft

 

  • Exceptional targeted ROI
