Hardware
One floor. Six disciplines.
01
Design & Engineering
Surface models, inner structure, and the analysis that says a part is light enough and strong enough before anyone cuts a tool.
02
Laser Scanning
A tracker on the part, not a guess in the model. Edges, spars, and tools get measured where they actually sit.
03
Reverse Engineering
Customer models arrive unfinished. We take the scan, close the surfaces, and hand the floor something it can tool.
04
5-Axis Programming & Machining
Bulkheads, hard points, molds, and fixtures. Programmed here, cut here, in metals, plastics, composites, foam, and tooling board.
05
Composite Tooling
The mold is the part’s first assembly fixture. Soft tools, production molds, and tooling sets leave this floor, not a subcontractor’s.
06
Composite Parts
Wet layup and prepreg. Skins, spars, radomes, fuselage elements, and the repair when an article comes back.

Four aircraft for Kyon Dynamics.
Meridian, Northstar, Vigil, and Pike are made for our client, Kyon Dynamics. All four are in process.

Meridian
Carbon-fiber BMI composite for the skins. Titanium where the heat and the torque live: the engine bay, the nozzle, the wing roots, and the mounts. Aluminum-lithium in the cooler structure, where the load is real and the heat is not. A radar-absorbent coat over the outside, not a bare weave. The panels sit on the structure lines. Edges are tight, fasteners are flush, and the coat covers the seams so the shell reads as one surface. Twin canted tails. It flies alongside other fighter jets and carries a similar payload. Same speed class, same station, without a pilot in the seat.

Northstar
Cells in the wing charge the batteries while the sun is up. That charge is what flies the aircraft after dark. It stays aloft as long as the day keeps refilling what the night spends. No tanker, and no recovery every few hours. The advantage is time: one quiet wing over the same sky, sensor ball underneath, for as long as the sun comes back.

Vigil
Forty hours on station, and built to carry a payload. The multi-gimbal camera rides with whatever else the mission hangs on it. Gear down, prop turning, long enough to watch and enough airplane to bring the load back.

Pike
A one-way jet. The payload detonates on impact, and the aircraft does not come back. The body is slim and squared. Small triangular wings sit on a pivot, folded in the launcher until they lock open clear of the rail. The fin and the two tailplanes pack in at the nozzle. It leaves a trailer, a launcher on a vehicle, or a fixed rail, then flies just above the terrain. Satellite guidance takes it to the locked target. A seeker stays with that target if the target moves. The crew on the launch vehicle, a station at the FOB, troops on the ground, or a remote station on a Starlink-class link can take the lock off and put it on a new one. Cut the throttle and the light airframe glides the same path when it needs to throw an enemy off. The body and the skin are shaped to scatter a radar return away from the receiver.
