AAI Acquisition, Inc ceased operations in April 2009 with the remaining assets being purchased by Triton America, LLC. Triton America was founded by real estate developer Thomas Hsuef.
AAI Acquisition, Inc. was the successor to Adam Aircraft and continued development, design and manufactures a family of innovative general aviation aircraft, including the centerline thrust, twin-engine A500, and the A700 twin-engine AdamJet VLJ. By combining modern technologies, rapid deployment processes, and innovative engineering, AAI Acquisition is designing and building new high-performance aircraft that are raising the standards of quality and value in general aviation.
The A500 centerline thrust twin brings safety and confidence to the multi-engine pilot. Designed to overcome the hazardous single-engine characteristics of conventional twins, the A500 mounts both engines on the fuselage. This configuration eliminates the adverse yaw effects of an engine failure, which makes the aircraft more manageable during partial power situations. In addition to these safety benefits, the aircraft delivers superior range and speed in the pressurized comfort of a roomy interior that seats up to 6.
The plan for the A700 was to deliver jet performance and reliability at a fraction of the cost of today's business jets. With an advanced carbon composite airframe design and highly efficient Williams FJ33 turbofan engines, the A700 is a collaboration of industry leading technologies. Low operating costs, comfortable seating for up to 8 in air taxi configuration, or seating for up to 7 with an aft lavatory, and state-of-the-art avionics make the A700 a natural choice for customers considering jet ownership.
