Adaptive Aerospace Corporation

Adaptive Aerospace Corporation (AAC) (CAGE 1NKV4) is a small business located in Tehachapi, California (near Edwards AFB), founded in 1999 in order to fill a need for integrated avionics and structural design, analysis, and certification. Combined with effective program management, this interdisciplinary approach has proven successful on numerous projects. The company has significant strength in aircraft modification and certification. Highly unusual aircraft modifications have been accomplished for special aircraft missions, with FAA / STC, USAF T-2, or foreign military modification approval. Clear requirements definitions drive the certification plan and compliance checklists, ensuring rapid certification agency approval. Delivered data packages are clear and comprehensive, and coordinate with air agency work order systems. Structural analysis packages include static strength and damage tolerance (where required) analysis and approvals. Avionics/ electrical analysis and approvals include functional hazard assessment, airworthiness substantiation report, electrical loads analysis, EMI/RFI flight and ground test plans. Where required, reports for various mechanical systems interfaces or modifications are generated and approvals secured (interiors, flammability, etc.) Additional documents prepared for a program include the master data list, weight and balance report, flight manual supplement and maintenance manual supplements, illustrated parts manual supplements when required, providing necessary instructions for continued airworthiness. AAC has demonstrated the ability to successfully manage FAA certification projects involving multiple disciplines and distant team members. This familiarity with civil certification procedures enabled AAC to develop the modification certification approval process used by foreign military specific aircraft.
