To potential investor(s), and all present and future customers -- this is a short list of what's blowing up our skirt here at INFINITY Aerospace :
* we have an investor to help us finish the final Infinity 1 prototype pictured on our web site. We're shooting for flying this year;
* more funding (~$500K for the molds and 1st article to proove out the Quick Build Kit Molds) is needed before going into production of 100+ Infinity 1 Quick Build Kit Sport Aircraft per year -- to date, out of all the thousands of "Looky Loos", "Leaners", "Wanna Bees" and "Whistle Gophers", 678 people have sincerely stated that they are going to order a plane. We already have 60 orders, and 11 deposits. We also need $150K to buy our own mil, lathe and tooling to produce retractable landing gear, throttle handle and quadrants, and all the metal parts for the Infinity 1 Quick Build Kit Sport Aircraft, and for other customer projects, and our other products. So, if you want to make over $250,000 per year for a 1 time small investment of $750,000, call JD (sincere people only, please);
* deliveries of 60 more sets of our Infinity 1 Oleo Strut Main Retracts that also fits other Canard Sport Aircraft have begun, and all will be delivered soon;
* we're also going into production of our Left & Right Hand, and Center Console, Throttle Handle and Quadrant (3000+ builders have already expressed interest). The 2 prototypes were shown at Sun 'N Fun (SNF) 2003 (they were a BIG hit !); another set of prototypes were made after input from valued professionals at SNF (and other sources) and were on display at Oshkosh & SNF 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008, with improvements made after each air show. We are finally done with the design, now production and deliveries should begin soon;
* then we're going into production of our steerable or castering (builder's choice) Oleo Nose Strut for Canards with a 11.5" diameter Lamb type and size tire that will lift a 2200 lb. GW Canard aircraft with 4 people, full gas and baggage -- and the actuator internally locks down (actuator will remain mechanically locked even with loss of hydraulic pressure -- Safety Feature) -- hundreds of Canard builders / fliers have already stated they want our oleo nose strut. The prototype should be completed soon;
* as I said in the 2nd bullet above, with all the machining and outside jobs that are upcoming, we need $150K to buy our own mil, lathe and tooling;
* we are coming out with a simple Central Aircraft Computer (JD's Black Box) to help relieve the pilot of some of the tedious, mundane duties not directly involved with actually flying the aircraft, but must be remembered a Safety Issue with me and most pilots. Should have the prototype ready soon;
* as the web site states, we design and manufacture landing gear for other companies. We are presently designing Retractable Landing Gear for Abaris Aircraft's Golden Arrow -- this is our 4th design for another aircraft company;
* we designed and mfg. South Korea's NASA's (KARI) Fire Fly Retractable Castering Oleo Nose Strut Landing Gear March 25th, 2004;
* we are designing and mfg. South Korea's NASA's (KARI) Fire Fly Retractable Main Strut Landing Gear as of October 05th, 2004;
* we designed and mfg. South Korea's NASA's (KARI) Vertical Take-Off Smart UAV Retractable Oleo Strut Landing Gear with outriggers October 05th, 2004;
* we should be starting a Retractable Oleo Strut Landing Gear design, then production, for a 12,500 lb. GW sub-orbital aircraft;
* we have an association with a company whose turbo-fan jet engine is on the drawing board and going into production;
* we are the designer and manufacturer of Retractable Oleo Strut Landing Gear for 2 major aerospace companies for aircraft under 12,500 lbs. Gross Weight;
* when we get a spare moment, we are going to design (actually, already have this figured out) and manufacture Retractable Oleo Strut Main Landing Gear for the RV / Harmon / F-1 Rocket series of taildragger Kit Sport Aircraft, and tri-cycle retracts for the RV-10. Also, maybe even making a Laminar Flow compsite retrofit wing for these aircraft, if there is enough interest. But as you all well know, money drives everything;
* governments and government agencies want Turn-Key prop, turbo-prop and jet Infinity 1 aircraft. We have already given 6 briefings to DARPA and the Pentagon -- at their request -- for using our Infinity 1 as a manned and/or unmanned attack and/or reconnaissance spy plane [ Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) ]. {NOTE -- one of JD's many collateral jobs while on Active Duty at Flight Test (at NAS Pt. Mugu) was Officer-In-Charge (OIC) of the Navy's UAV Program, so the Infinity 1 is designed with the UAV, and many other, missions in mind};
* 6 foreign countries have already contacted us for Turn-Key Light Attack and/or Trainer Infinity 1 Jet Aircraft;
* we have other aircraft designs on the drawing board, including a 6 pax 300+ KNT helicopter, and an Unlimited Reno Race Plane;
* we are interviewing many cities in several states concerning moving our company to their city to produce ourInfinity 1 Quick Build Kit Sport Aircraft, and all of our other products, which provides jobs and money to the local and state economy.
Some of this information is discussed in more detail on our web site, and/or call JD ANY afternoon after 1400, or evening, PT, 7 days a week, for "the rest of the story" !
You can also read about ALL the other products we carry
on our web site. As you can well see, we are not just another kit aircraft company
hanging our hat on whether our kit aircraft will be successful or not. In fact,
we've been in business since August 1980.
So, if you are *truly serious* about investing and/or joining the INFINITY Team , please contact JD via our US Mailing Address , and/or via his E-mail address at JD@InfinityAerospace.com , and/or via FAX at (619) 448-5176, and/or by phone at (619) 448-5103, and/or Skype: kingvulcan007 [ JD can be reached 7 / 24 / 365.25 ANY afternoon after 1400 CA time, and evening, Pacific Time (PT) ] .
