Javelin Aerospace Group

What Javelin Aerospace Group does

Javelin Aerospace Group is an Australian aerospace design, engineering, and certification firm founded in 2021, headquartered in Warana, Queensland, with additional offices in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney. The company is built around a CASR Part 21M Approval that authorises it to issue certified engineering data across structures, flight analysis, and systems and equipment (mechanical, electrical, instrument, radio), and it also holds AWL Appointed Person status under CASR 132.185 for modifications to historic and ex-military aircraft. Its work centres on complex structural modifications, mission equipment integration, Supplemental Type Certificate support, in-house testing (flammability, load, materials, vibration, noise, dynamic), and regulatory liaison with CASA, EASA, and FAA frameworks, with the proprietary Rapid Parallel Support (RPS) platform layering automation and machine learning on top of the engineering workflow to compress turnaround from weeks to days.

The customer base spans commercial and government aviation (aerial firefighting, aeromedical, law enforcement, special missions), general aviation operators, the warbird community, and emerging UAV/AAM and electric aviation segments. Named clients include Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia, McDermott Aviation, Complete Avionics, Jetpoint, Yungur Aviation, Shield AI, JET Aviation, and PCH. Distribution is direct enterprise sales-led, with complimentary site visits and dedicated technical specialists assigned in parallel to client teams.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services across five streams: CASR Part 21M design and certification, STC support, in-house testing, Javelin Academy education programs, and managed RPS contracts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagement is contact-based with bespoke quoting. The company markets itself through its website, LinkedIn, an electric-aviation email newsletter, and industry events, while its sub-brand Javelin Academy provides a separate education revenue stream and thought-leadership channel.
