PRODUCT AVAILABILITY

Stavatti’s core aerospace vehicle products include the SM-27 MACHETE™, SM-27 MACHETE™ and SM-47 SUPER MACHETE™. These aircraft are unclassified and are marketed by Stavatti primarily through Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) to qualified US and NATO allied air defense arms. These systems are now under development by Stavatti and have not yet entered Full-Rate Production (FRP). All images currently published by Stavatti depicting these three aerospace vehicles are computer generated renderings. Stavatti anticipates the SM-27, SM-28 and SM-47 to enter Low Rate Initial Production within thirty-six to forty-eight months after Stavatti receives sufficient purchase orders/procurement contracts to financially justify their initiation of production, or upon receipt of RDT&E funding from a specific customer or end-user entity.. These systems will not enter Full-Rate Production until they receive FAA Type and Production Certification and/or MIL SPEC Qualification. For security reasons, Stavatti is not publishing dates of aerospace vehicle prototype roll-out, Demonstration/Validation flight testing or LRIP. Stavatti will initiate a press release upon initiation of Full-Rate Production of each of these aircraft. Although these products are not yet in production, Stavatti is establishing a production backlog and is now taking orders for their delivery. Selected versions of these aircraft may also be available for pre-production as FAA EXPERIMENTAL category aircraft. Contact Stavatti for information relating to aircraft kits and EXPERIMENTAL variants.

Stavatti Aerospace Ltd. is engaged in the development of a number of air vehicles beyond the three core products. These products are in various stages of design and development and have not yet entered LRIP. Special Access aerospace vehicles and classified defense systems fall under the jurisdiction of the Advanced Development Company and/or the Stavatti Reconnaissance Systems (SRS) division.

Contact Stavatti directly for information concerning additional products including land armament, naval and missile systems.

RETURNS

Stavatti understands that occasionally customers are dissatisfied. Alternatively, sometimes a Congress orders just one too many jet fighters! In either case, sometimes a customer needs to return a product.

Stavatti maintains a Standard Return Policy whereby if a customer is not satisfied for any reason, a product in LIKE-NEW Condition may be returned to Stavatti within 30 days of initial delivery for a refund, exchange or credit to your account. Products which are returned to Stavatti that are NOT of LIKE-NEW Condition may be returned to Stavatti if done so within 30 days for an exchange or credit only. Note that returned, NOT LIKE NEW items may be assigned a discounted exchange or account credit value based upon their degree of wear/use.

LIKE-NEW condition for Aerospace Vehicles is defined as less than 72 hours actual operating time (TACH TIME or HOBBs Meter) without significant sign of wear or use as to void warranty coverage.

Customers wishing to return Aerospace Vehicles, Armament Systems and Retail Firearms must deliver the items in-person to the Stavatti facility from which they were procured.

As the producer of aerospace vehicles and armament systems, Stavatti is best equipped to provide leading, specialized, warrantied maintenance services for all Stavatti produced products. Regardless of its date of manufacture, Stavatti maintains the entire history of every aircraft produced, ranging from original concept sketches to individual Bill of Materials. Benefiting from CATIA based engineering document control and Product Life-cycle Management (PLM), Stavatti knows the orientation of every graphite strand, the width of every laser weld and the placement of each Ti-Matic rivet on every aerospace vehicle to roll off the line. Be it a mass produced Stavatti core product, or a prototype demonstrator, Stavatti will provide complete maintenance solutions including:

• Service Inspections and Fluid Changes
• 100-Hour and Annual Inspections
• Field and Battle Damage Maintenance
• Major Overhaul and Depot Level Maintenance

Contact Stavatti if you are in need of individual aircraft or contract maintenance services alike.

SUPPORT CENTERS

Concurrent to the establishment of primary aerospace vehicle assembly facilities, Stavatti is establishing a global network of Stavatti Service Locations and Stavatti Technical Service Locations which are owned and operated by Stavatti.

Stavatti’s Primary Service Centers (PSCs) will include Stavatti aerospace vehicle and systems assembly facilities including potential sites such as Buffalo, NY and Boise, ID. These facilities are not only home to all new Stavatti aircraft, but also service, completion, warranty repair, spare parts production and warehousing/distribution. PSCs will conduct basic service and depot level support, as well as aircraft RCS measurement and calibration, aircraft battle damage repair and ground-up restoration, aircraft paint and trim, owner/operator/maintainer education and training, and internal systems upgrades and modifications. Stavatti projects establishing two PSCs in the United States and one PSC in the Pacific Rim at a yet to be determined site.

Stavatti Service Locations (SLs) will serve as complete service and warranty repair centers capable of performing basic service and depot level support alike. SLs are suitable for battle damage repair, owner/operator/maintainer education and training, aircraft paint and trim and internal systems upgrades and modifications. Stavatti SLs will serve as spare parts warehousing and distribution centers. Stavatti projects the establishment of three SLs on the North American Continent as well as seven facilities worldwide with locations in Asia, Africa, South America and Europe.

Stavatti Technical Service Locations (TSLs) will provide basic system servicing, major overhaul, battle damage repair and retail spare parts supply. Serving as front-line maintenance facilities, Stavatti TSLs will provide an equipped, knowledgeable service staff at no less than 20 locations worldwide to provide immediate systems support during wartime conditions.

SPARES

AEROSPACE VEHICLE SPARES

Stavatti produces all necessary spare parts and components to assure complete aircraft supportability. Once an aircraft enters production, Stavatti establishes a stores base equal to 1/5th of the current, in-service aircraft fleet. Spares are available for direct purchase by all Stavatti aircraft owner/operators for direct purchase or purchase through a customer selected service center/maintenance facility.

Stavatti offers an on-line spares catalog for all non-classified, aircraft products. This catalog may be accessed by Stavatti aircraft owner/operators who are provided a username and password upon aircraft delivery. Aircraft owner/operators who purchased/procured Stavatti aircraft from a private party must contact Stavatti with proof of aircraft ownership for assignment of a unique username and password.

Stavatti does not offer an on-line spares catalog for classified aerospace vehicles and products. Operators of special access products which require spare parts support must contact Stavatti by secure means.

CUSTOM & DEMONSTRATOR

An organization based upon Tiger Team principles, Stavatti generally embraces customer requests to produce custom and demonstrator aircraft. Like Ryan aircraft of the 1920s or Douglas in the days of Cloudster, Stavatti has the ability to design a clean-sheet-of-paper aerospace vehicle, prototype it, flight test it and achieve FAA type certification for it within an extremely short time-span at reasonable costs.

Be it a scaled concept demonstrator or a fully operational special applications aircraft, Stavatti can produce between one and thirty custom aircraft using commercial practices and a Fixed Cost Contract Structure. Depending upon aircraft type, Stavatti can typically design and prototype an all new, experimental aircraft for custom or demonstrator purposes within 9 months. Stavatti can typically gain appropriate FAA type certification for an adequately financed, conformally prototyped experimental aircraft within 15 months. Typical concept to FAA type certification time for a custom or demonstrator aircraft is 24 months or less, dependent upon complexity.

The Fixed Cost associated with custom and demonstrator aircraft development, prototyping and FAA type certification is entirely dependent upon the design.

If you are a unique individual or entity in need of an original custom aircraft for one-off or demonstrator purposes and you enjoy Stavatti’s breathtaking styling and ability, call or write us with your thoughts. Custom and demonstrator aircraft concepts which Stavatti is particularly fond of creating include Amphibians, Supersonic Transports, Reusable Launch Vehicles, Reconnaissance Platforms, Reno Air Racers and STOL Utility Transports.

WARTIME

Stavatti produces military aerospace vehicles and weapon systems for the common defense of free sovereign states and the preservation of the United States as established in the Constitution by the founding fathers. Stavatti does not produce armaments for the purpose of wartime profiteering or the perpetuation of tyranny.

Stavatti does not engage in military weapon system sales to threat nations including: Armenia, Azerbajian, Belarus, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Tarjirkistan, The People’s Republic of China, Haiti, Liberia, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan, Zaire and others. Stavatti actively engages in the business of building the weapon and intelligence systems necessary to render these threats impotent.

Stavatti recognizes that there are actual threats to free sovereign nations. These threats are actively pursuing dominance through terrorist and organized military action worldwide. Stavatti also realizes that there will be both conflict and war throughout the immediate future. Based upon Stavatti’s analysis of defense industry history, it is apparent that sovereign nations at war can hardly afford the basic equipment and armament systems necessary to maintain sovereignty. Military equipment is expensive enough in peacetime. Its immediate price is crippling in times of war, yet its long-term value is immeasurable in terms of preserving freedom and national sovereignty.

Based upon these facts, Stavatti has an established policy of not only increasing weapon system production to wartime surge requirements, but reducing weapon system profit margin to 1% to 5% for nations which procure Stavatti weapon systems for defense during times of war. If a free nation is at war, Stavatti will not unduly profit from supplying it those basic tools necessary for survival.
