Custom aircraft design/build business...
Hi all,
I am a student about to go into university to study mechanical engineering for Masters. Until quite recently, I was set upon joining the RAF as a pilot, but certain events have forced me to reconsider. I hold a G2 cat. for VGS motorgliders, and would be more than happy to have an excuse to get a PPL etc.
My thoughts now are towards starting my own business that designs and builds aircraft to customer specs (whilst keeping within legislation and rules etc). I understand that its gonna be difficult to say the least, but I would appreciate any input on any aspect of it... for example, how popular it would be, would MechEng be suitable, what specialists would be useful etcetc.
Many thanks, and appologies for the long post!
Matt
