INVESTING IN THE NEXT GENERATION
Mission Statement: To build tools that change the world!
APEX Aerospace is a for impact 501c53 non-profit STEM workforce development program dedicated to equipping youth with practical STEM skills through the construction of experimental amateur-built (EAB) airplanes in high schools across the United States.
Apex Aerospace aims to bridge the gap between education and industry by equipping students with real-world skills, fostering interest in STEM careers and cultivating the next generation of aerospace innovators. By building experimental aircraft under expert guidance, students gain practical knowledge, teamwork experience and a profound sense of accomplishment.
We strive to become the leading youth aviation education program in the United States, revolutionizing STEM education by creating a network of student-built aircraft programs that empower and inspire youth to pursue aerospace careers.
Students will learn skills in aerospace by building experimental aircraft and restoring vintage aircraft. We will teach sheet metal, electrical, basic hydraulics, and composites, just to start.
Vision
To be the leading non-profit organization in youth aerospace education, empowering students to reach their full potential through innovation, collaboration and hands-on learning to prepare students for professional success in the aerospace industry.
What We Do
Apex Aerospace launched in 2025 as a high school aircraft build program. This nationwide program assists schools with building aircraft in school. APEX Aerospace mentors volunteer staff and manages the aircraft build project.
Donations from the community fund aircraft parts, tools and operational expenses for Apex Aerospace.
The next phase of the company involves building our “home” in Central Florida. This involves a purpose built facility housing aircraft projects that are built on site as well as student led manufacturing opportunities using 3d printers, CNC machines and various other cutting edge techniques.
Our home location also gives us the ability to invite the homeschool community to experience an aircraft build and function as a host for Central Florida schools that don’t have the room to build airplanes on their own campus.
Apex Aerospace will also offer builder assistance services from our home location to the Zenith Aircraft community. We will hire the top students from Central Florida aircraft build programs to continue in their education journey working on customer projects.
