Company Overview
Sherpa Aircraft Group is a U.S. aircraft manufacturer relaunching a proven line of commercial STOL aircraft. With $21M in legacy development and four proof of concept flown, we’re advancing FAA Part 23 certification for multiple utility aircraft variants, including the turbine‑powered 8‑place GT1000, plus a dual‑use variant for USCG, DoD, and special mission operators.
​
-
Between 1987 and 2013, prior investors funded approximately $21 million into Sherpa Aircraft development.
-
In today’s aircraft manufacturing cost environment, this represents an equivalent program investment of ~$59 million.
-
These funds created the foundation of the program: multiple flying prototypes, over 52,000 engineering drawings, and extensive FAA certification groundwork.
​
📌 Note: This historical investment is not part of the current raise but demonstrates the significant capital already deployed in developing Sherpa’s platform.
​
Sherpa is not a concept-stage startup — it's a restart with working aircraft, proven team, and a defined certification path.​
​
Relaunching FAA-certified production in Waco, or central Texas Region. Multiple flown prototypes, $3B+ 10-year revenue forecast, and unique STOL capabilities with multi-role applications.​​
Our Mission
To deliver the world’s most capable extreme STOL workhorse—safe, efficient, rugged, and reliable—designed for commercial, humanitarian, and defense operators. Sherpa Aircraft opens access to remote and undeveloped frontiers with unmatched performance, offering a proven platform built for mission success and long-term value.
Growth Outlook
Sherpa Aircraft is positioned for significant long-term growth as FAA certification advances and production scales. Management forecasts show expanding EBIT margins as we deliver a family of commercial STOL aircraft into global markets.​
