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 company intends to maintain continuity of support for existing operators while investing in product enhancements, certification growth and integration with its broader avionics ecosystem, which includes advanced flight decks, autothrottle systems, mission computers and display technologies.
