Advanced Aerodynamics & Structures has finalised the inhouse design, fabrication and welding of the critical main fuel tank on its Jetcruzer 500 and is now preparing the tank for final pressure tests and installation. AASI Aircraft currently has 188 aircraft orders, representing a backlog of approximately $226 million. Dr. Carl L. Chen, chairman and ceo of AASI Aircraft, said: “The fuselage tank represents a significant step as it is the last of the large items manufactured by AASI to be installed in the Jetcruzer 500."
