In the complex world of aeronautics and airspace systems, Strat Aero’s team of experts have, over the past three decades, provided innovative training and educational solutions for airline, corporate and military flight operations, around the world in addition to world-class consultancy services and software solutions.

Strat Aero is an international aerospace services company focussed primarily on the provision of training solutions, management systems and consultancy services to the international aviation market. Managed by a group of aviation specialists with a combination of unrivalled operational and technical expertise, Strat Aero delivers industry-leading targeted products and services to a number of international customers.

Strat Aero’s operations fall into three primary divisions:
Unmanned Aerial Systems (“UAS”) Pilot Training and Services
Aviation Software, Products and Services
Aviation Management and Consultancy Services

The Company has developed an operating platform from which to expand its divisional activities. The primary focus will be capitalising on UAS pilot training and services, through leveraging its expertise and fully functional training facility at Roswell, Chaves County, New Mexico, United States ("Roswell"). Training of US Air Force UAS pilots is expected to commence by early Q1 2015 in partnership with Northrop Grumman. The Group has further leveraged its position to target the provision of UAS training and services to non-military markets including law enforcement, education and corporate.



In addition to its UAS division, the Company has built a proprietary advanced aerospace management system which it develops and markets through its Aviation, Software, Products and Services division. This has multiple functionality which will be also marketed to non-aerospace sectors.

The third division, Aviation Management and Consultancy, has a primary emphasis on fixed base operators and other service providers and utilises the cumulative experience of the management team and employees. Contracts are already in place, a number of which are generating revenues including one for the provision of consultancy services for the establishment of a new low cost airline.

The Group is headquartered at Gatwick airport in the United Kingdom and operates from a network of offices and consultants in London, New York, Houston, Seattle and Singapore.

The Company's main country of operation is initially expected to be the USA.



First day of dealings on the AIM 17November 2014

Just been doing research here on the company and the sector and I see the management changes recently.Nigel Burton and Trevor Brown appointed to the board and now running the show,these two have a very impressive record of business turnaround and have already landed a contract with uk government.Looking at the industry it seems this is a super growth sector to be in and Strat Aero are one of very few uk companies able to do commercial scale survey and 3d mapping work.On that basis is likely they will be getting a fair bit of work through government and government agencies not just here but also overseas.

Market cap of under £3m and a recently cleaned up balance sheet,has many of the traits of a potential recovery stock that I look for and as it is in a high growth sector might attract a fair bit of interest.

Another news article out today about the pending new standards issued through the British Standards Institute.This will be a major boost to the industry and the green light for a wider rollout of applications both in the public and private sectors.Even if Strat Aero only get a small piece of this it will still offer some serious upside,if as Trevor Brown suggests the company becomes a market leader in the uk then it turns into a potential life changing share from its current £2.9m market cap.The risk/reward to those in at these levels looks very favourable.


Interesting comments by Bsi Chairman Mr Garbutt

“The potential for the drone industry worldwide is huge, and particularly for the UK economy where the combination of our intellectual capital – our technology, engineering, innovation, governance, and above all, our development and support of high standards – is world class.”

Have decided to have a wee punt on this,i like the new managements credentials and the fact they have taken a sizable stake in the business.And they also look well placed to grab some of this new growth that is forecasted at least in the Uk.

This has a good chart setup - suggestive of a move back above 0.09p
