About Airboss Aerospace

Airboss Aerospace, Inc. has been in operation for over 16 years. The company has specialized in the development of proof-of-concept and prototype aircraft, ranging from low performance general aviation aircraft and UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), to business jet class vehicles, to spacecraft. Airboss has gained an outstanding reputation for successfully creating new and unique vehicles using cutting-edge technology developed in-house, as well as within the industry. Most notably, AirBoss developed the first aircraft to start the VLJ movement in the business jet marketplace. They did so, when a suitable jet engine did not exist, by taking an existing turbine and redesigning it to fit the aircraft needs. Currently, AirBoss is partners in the development of two spacecraft. Both vehicles have the capability of horizontal landing, and one is powered by a regenerative methane rocket motor.
