Call it the Aero-Marriage of the decade... It has just been announced that Alan Klapmeier will lead the integration and growth of a new multiple-product aviation company incorporating two of our favorite aircraft -- and people.

ONE Aviation Corporation has been formed to design, develop, and manufacture a family of aircraft, each of which will be a market leader in its category and class. ONE Aviation’s core products include the Eclipse 550 twin-engine light jet and the Kestrel K350 single-engine turboprop. The fact that private industry is being used by the United States to resupply the International Space Station, and that the SpaceX Company successfully launched its 6th mission yesterday, should be a big story. It is, but it’s not the only story of this mission. The most recent attempt to land the booster occurred yesterday, and resulted in an “almost success.” The rocket did land vertically on the barge but then tumbled over because of sideways motion of the floating landing pad. Last fall, Flight Design, manufacturer of the popular CT-series of Light-Sport Aircraft, promised to fly its new, certified four-seated airplane, called the C4, by the opening of the German Aero Friedrichshafen show. The development team achieved their goal last week. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
