The firm originally manufactured floats for seaplanes, using composite materials. It later branched out into aircraft, marketing them in kit form for homebuilding. It now offers 3-10 place kit aircraft, with the latest developments being in the experimental Jet market. In 2004, the company test-flew its most ambitious project, a homebuilt jet aircraft, the Aerocomp Comp Air Jet.[2]
A wholly owned subsidiary, with partner Patrick Farrell, Forward.Vision, manufactures Infra-red viewing systems for aviation use.[4]
