Air vehicle design, tooling & mfg.; specialty composite structure design, analysis & fabrication; developmental flight tests

We perform all steps involved in developing something new, preferably with airplanes because they're cool. Whether it's pitching an idea, building and installing a new hydraulic system, testing an airfoil, or crunching some numbers, we do it all.

Founded by legendary aerospace designer Burt Rutan, Scaled Composites' focus was building scaled-down prototype aircraft.
Realizing this approach was not always practical, Burt expanded the definition of the business. The flexibility demonstrated with that decision trickled through the years, allowing Scaled to continually reinvent its approach to aerospace pioneering.
This is our legacy..
