What Georgian Aerospace does

Georgian Aerospace, LLC is a privately held aerospace engineering services firm founded in 1991 by Alan B. Georgian in cooperation with Aviation Material and Technical Support (AVMATS) and headquartered at Spirit of St. Louis Airport in Chesterfield, Missouri. The company provides engineering design, analysis, and FAA-approved data services for aerospace modifications, including structural repairs, major alterations (avionics/electrical installations, antenna installations, interior modifications, and special mission equipment), airworthiness determination, and FAA certification support such as Type and Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) efforts and FAA Form 8110 data. Its core technical differentiator is an in-house team of Designated Engineering Representatives (DER) and Designated Airworthiness Representatives (DAR) with authority spanning electrical, mechanical, structural, powerplant, flight analysis, and damage tolerance disciplines across FAR Parts 23, 25, 27, and 29, complemented by three US patents (Nos. 9,567,059; 10,112,695 B2; 10,183,734 B2) and high-precision 3D scanning and reverse engineering capabilities (ROMER, Surphaser, Leica, PolyWorks, Geomagic).

The firm's engineering workflow is supported by industry-standard CAE tools — SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk, ANSYS Mechanical and CFD, FEMAP/NASTRAN, and AFGROW/Spectrum Manager — covering structural analysis, finite element modeling, electrical load analysis, and damage tolerance evaluation. Its customer base is concentrated in aerospace and aerospace/defense and includes large OEMs such as Boeing, Gulfstream, and Lockheed, alongside MRO operations and a long tail of small aircraft and helicopter operators; the firm serves both US and international customers through remote digital engagement.

Georgian Aerospace generates revenue primarily through professional services engagements structured as proposals and work authorizations tied to specific serial-numbered aircraft. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; standard payment terms are 50% deposit upon authorization, 25% at midpoint, and the remainder prior to release of work product, with proposal validity of 30 calendar days. GTM is sales-led, centered on direct enterprise outreach and aerospace-industry professional networking rather than digital marketing channels. The firm operates as a Missouri LLC with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or M&A activity, and is led by President Michael Scimone alongside Business and Operations Manager Bill Bausch and Sales and Business Development lead Dave Helderop.
