Mace Aviation M5 prototype helicopter on the ground

Aerospace Composite & Metallic Structures Manufacturer

Defense-proven. Vertically integrated. Built for programs that can’t afford delays.

One Fabricator. Every Capability. Zero Handoffs.

Mace Aviation is an Arizona-based aerospace manufacturer with direct program experience at MD Helicopters, L3Harris, Lockheed Skunk Works, Stratolaunch, NAVAIR, and Scaled Composites. We fabricate composite structures, metallic assemblies, wiring harnesses, tooling, and FEA structural analysis in-house, on a single program. That vertical integration means fewer vendors, tighter schedules, and a fabrication partner who understands the engineering behind what they’re building.
