Vickers Aircraft Company is a small aircraft manufacturer in Hamilton, New Zealand. Vickers Aircraft Company is developing the Vickers Wave, a two-seat amphibious seaplane.

History

Vickers Aircraft Company was founded in 2011. Previous to being Vickers Aircraft Company, it had been a custom manufacturer of marine and aviation products, operating as Specialized Routing.

Vickers Aircraft specialises in carbon fibre fabrication, and in-house manufacturing of their goods.[1] Special attention is being made to make an aircraft that is producible and highly manufacturable.[2]

The first public forum discussing the Wave was presented at EAA Airventure 2017.[3][4]

Products

Vickers Aircraft Company's first aircraft, a two-seat amphibious seaplane, is called The Wave.[5]

The Wave has some unique features unavailable in other similar aircraft,[6] such as a bow thruster and substantially higher horsepower engine.[7][8][9]

Facilities

Vickers Aircraft Company operates from multiple buildings at the Hamilton Airport, in Hamilton, New Zealand.[10]

Facilities include cleanrooms for composite layup and bonding operations, ovens for composite curing, manufacturing equipment (routers, presses), trim rooms, stockrooms, and multiple assembly areas.
