Facilities
ATG was headquartered at Centennial Airport,[2] with manufacturing facilities at Front Range Airport in neighboring Aurora. The postal designation of nearby Englewood is used as the company's mailing address.
On August 23, 2005, Will Schippers, ATG's CFO, reported that ATG signed contracts to lease two buildings located at Front Range Airport. “These buildings will be interim facilities until we build permanent production facilities currently planned for 2009.”[3]
ATG was leasing approximately 56,000 square feet (5,200 m2) at Front Range Airport. The first building was a 21,600-square-foot (2,010 m2) facility, and was being used by ATG Flight Operations to manufacture four FAA conforming Javelin aircraft as well as serving as test facility headquarters.
The adjacent building was being used to assemble production aircraft. ATG anticipated production of up to 10 planes at a time in the 34,400-square-foot (3,200 m2) facility. When production reached full capacity for these facilities, ATG expected to have hired up to 150 new employees.
Sales
As of November 5, 2007, there were 153 positions on the waiting list for the ATG Javelin.[4]
ATG halted all further development on the Javelin in December 2007 after failing to get $200 million to finance further development.[5] ATG laid off all employees and halted development operations on December 17, 2007. On May 27, 2008 ATG filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. The company subsequently declared bankruptcy in 2008, ending the development of the Javelin.

ATG est une société de construction aéronautique américaine qui s'est donné pour mission de conduire un groupe de fournisseurs mieux expérimenté, dans le but de concevoir le ATG Javelin, un jet privé aux performances prétendument exceptionnelles et dont une version militaire (MK-20) est candidate au remplacement des jets d'entraînement tels que le Fouga Magister. Malheureusement, le manque de compétence interne est la cause de multiples contretemps dans le programme en cour. Dernièrement, la compagnie a cessé de payer ses fournisseurs, ATK, ACT, Parker et d'autres. Un plan de financement a été lancé pour obtenir de nouveaux fonds d’investissement et éventuellement continuer le programme.[réf. nécessaire]Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
