The chief aim of man
is to glorify God
and enjoy Him forever.
- Westminster Catechism, 1648
 
Another aim of man is to build things
that run very HOT and very LOUD
and move really, really FAST !
- Larry Cottrill, 2005

Corporate Statement of Purpose
To the glory of God, we will endeavor...
To advance the state of the art of air-breathing reaction powerplant design toward greater simplicity, reliability, economy, maintainability and ease of use;
To offer the serious hobbyist a new standard of safe, reliable, efficient and affordable small jet propulsion systems;
To profit fairly, reasonably and in good conscience from our creativity and effort;
To provide a dedicated portion of earned profit to selected organizations which labor to better the lives of the needy, heal the sick, relieve the oppressed and set free the enslaved;
And to generate from our efforts a significant Return on Investment to every person who has materially contributed to the success and advancement of this enterprise.
To these ends, we hereby resolve and commit ourselves
 TO  BUILD  ENGINES 
for  the  New  Millenium  of  Flight
