The Vintage Aeroplane Co., was established by pilots, for pilots. We have two distinct goals:

1) To create affordable physical training aids to assist both students and instructors in learning complex subjects

2) To assist the mechanic and homebuilder with custom tooling, jigs, fixtures, etc. Unlike most shops, we are willing and able to do small scale or single item production. 

We accomplish this with a combination of 3D printing, CNC plasma cutters, CNC routers, Tig welders, and various other shop tooling, We often publish our designs under a creative commons non-commercial license, so our plans are offered free if you want to make your own for personal use, or we can supply the finished component.

If you have an idea for a training aid, tool, fixture, etc., please let us know and we'll do what we can to assist in designing and producing something that meets your needs. We won't lock you out behind a proprietary paywall or sell your design or data. We are just getting started, so check back often for product offering updates on our online store. We look forward to hearing from you, Thank you
