The transaction aligns with Innovative’s continued expansion and its focus on U.S.-based engineering and manufacturing within the aerospace and defence industrial base.

Innovative Aerosystems has completed the acquisition of Moog’s Genesys Aerosystems S-TEC Model 3100 general aviation fixed-wing autopilot product line, advancing its capabilities in avionics and flight control systems across commercial, business and military aircraft segments.

The addition broadens the company’s integrated flight control offering and supports delivery of mission-ready solutions across both legacy fleets and next-generation platforms.
