Aeralis
Dart Jet was formed on 27 August by Tristan
Crawford in Stowmarket, Suffolk, to develop the Dart modular jet trainer system, employing a core common fuselage and center
wing box, to which can be added wings, cockpit, engine, empennage and landing gear applicable to the intended role and customer
requirements. The company changed its name to Aeralis on 17 December 2016 and at the time of writing was
soliciting funding to design and build a concept fuselage demonstrator.
Aeralis hopes to start production of eventually
12 to 20 aircraft a year by the mid-2020s – possibly using funding from the Welsh government to set up at the former
Royal Air Force base at St Athan near Cardiff – with Bombardier’s Belfast plant supplying the wings and engine
pod, and Thales UK the avionics. Formula 1 design house Williams Engineering would be contracted to manufacture the composite
fuselage.
