APTOZ AIRCRAFT DESIGN

Four Icelanders, with a combined 75 years of aircraft modification and configuration knowledge, founded Aptoz in 2017. With more than ten full-time employees and highly skilled Compliance Verification engineers, Aptoz has a very broad approval scope and is capable of handling complicated structural, electrical, and avionics modifications. Our objectives are to innovate aircraft modification and to be lean in our design and thinking. To get even more lean, we have included Scrum sprints in our work.
We aim to widen employment opportunities in aircraft engineering by continuously pushing the boundaries. We excel at managing large programs and repairs. We enjoy taking on tasks that might interfere with your regular business operations. Some programs are better left to the experts, so you can focus on what you do best.
