"We have great growth opportunities ahead, and Craig's talent
and experience in aircraft development and manufacturing will be a
major contribution to our success."

now look forward to Craig providing his production experience to
quickly ramp up deliveries to six aircraft per month to meet this
strong customer demand," said Joe Walker, Adam Aircraft

"I'm delighted to be joining such a talented team and to be
associated with the A500 and the A700 aircraft," said Craig

"These carbon-composite aircraft represent next-generation twin
piston and jet engine designs and embody extremely strong
construction with highly safe centerline thrust. I am excited to
lead the transition to production and the delivery ramp up of both
of these aircraft."
