KESTREL GROUP

AIRCRAFT CERTIFICATION, ENGINEERING, MODIFICATIONS & CUSTOM DESIGN

We are proud to provide customized consulting, certification and engineering services in support of the unique needs of corporate, fractional, head-of-state, military and general-aviation owners, operators and manufacturers worldwide.

Our management, certification & engineering team is structured around a core group of highly qualified aerospace and manufacturing professionals who are among the best in the industry. Now is the time to let our experience and specialized skills work for you.

Program Management

Most professionals would agree that effective program management has a critical role in attaining successful results and their involvement should start well before the work begins. A common paradigm we have found directly associated in many competent organizations would be that program management functions and responsibilities are often considered synonymous with those of project management. Both are quite similar in the preliminary execution phases however; the mixing of macro and micro management functions in critical phases typically evolves into crisis management, delays and loss. In some cases we have found that critical program managerial duties and responsibilities are relegated to someone who has not developed or mastered the skills to properly manage at that level.

We have assembled a team of qualified program managers who possess the skills your organization deserves to be successful in aviation and manufacturing. Their practical experience and training is only complimented by their ability to attain positive results which enables them to represent you in a manner consistent with the trust, integrity, service and quality you deserve. It is said that a laborer works with their hands, a technician with their mind, but a true professional works with their hands, their mind and their heart.

We embrace challenge by providing a comprehensive range of professional consulting services in program management, project management, governmental contracting, discrete research & development, aircraft certification, engineering & manufacturing on fixed and rotary wing aircraft. Special areas of expertise extend to process improvement, evaluation, training and implementation of smart technology. Familiar with Kaizen, Business Process Reengineering, Six-Sigma, Lean, TQM, QMP, RCM, Leadership Development and other process improvement initiatives, unlike most in the industry our consultants typically use an integrated mix of these techniques, blended with a strong dose of common sense, to customize solutions to a client’s business strategies and organizational culture.

Anti-Ballistic Armor Solutions

Kestrel Group provides custom designed light armor protective systems (LAP) made from Dyneema® (HPPE) polyethylene for the aircraft applications. This light armor protection (LAP) system will provide crew, passenger and key components with supplemental protection, within design constraints, from typical threat level 7.62 x 39 projectiles. The armor systems will be coated in a color matched durable Lifeguard protective coating which seals and protects the encapsulated armor while possessing a biocide agent that inhibits bacterial growth

Anti-ballistic protection- The anti-ballistic material to be used will meet or exceed the U.S. Department of Justice National Institute of Justice, Ballistic Resistant Protective Materials standards 0108.01. Dyneema® panels offer excellent protection from multiple hits, angle shots, and spall. Depending on the application and threat, Dyneema® can be used for protection against: The full range of ammunition from commonly used handgun ammunition (e.g. Magnum bullets) to 9 mm Full Metal Jacket bullets, Military ball ammunition, including AK47 mild steel core bullets. Dyneema® spall liners catch the generated spall fragments, and the angle of the spall cone is significantly reduced, decreasing damage considerably.

Strong & Durable: Dyneema® is a super strong (HPPE) polyethylene fiber produced using a patented gel spinning process. HPPE is 15 times stronger than steel &, weight-for-weight, 40% stronger than typical aramid fibers. It is used to create vehicle armor panels with exceptional properties. Successful applications include spall liners and armor panels for military, police and VIP applications in airplanes, helicopters, vehicles, transporters and ships. HB (Hard Ballistics) Dyneema® is typically used for both personal and vehicle protection. Highly resistant to abrasion, moisture, UV rays, chemicals, solvents (e.g. oil, gasoline) and ageing (no effect on performance after 24 months at 90°C. Resistant to both high and low temperatures extreme climates. Excellent mechanical rigidity and toughness with high energy absorption and low elongation properties. Lightweight- Dyneema® panels are significantly lighter than conventional armor solutions and can reduce weight density by 50-75% compared to steel armor. Dyneema® HB therefore minimizes the negative effect armor can have on an aircraft or vehicle’s center of gravity, payload, speed and maneuverability. As a result, it has an almost unlimited range of applications, providing maximum strength and security for minimum weight. It floats on water providing positive buoyancy (ideal for marine operations). Flame Retardant: Meeting the most commonly used standards of flame retardancy (e.g. FAA FAR 25.853 Aircraft Flammability Standards, DIN 4102 class B2, FMVSS 302). Federal Aviation Administration, burn testing found this coating to be fire resistant in sustained temperature in excess of 2000 degrees. Acoustics: Dyneema® panels even have good acoustic absorption properties.
