Core Values

Founded in Oak Brook, Illinois in 1996, Armstrong Aerospace Inc. began engineering aircraft modification projects by installing seat back telephony systems. Since then, Armstrong Aerospace has successfully installed passenger power systems, WiFi Internet, 802.11n wireless access points, mobile phones, satellite TV, and in-flight entertainment as well as navigation, communication and flight safety upgrades on commercial and business aviation aircraft.  Customers and strategic partners can expect a passionate approach to problem solving, design, and certification leading to reduced cost and faster time to market.

Astronics Armstrong Aerospace is recognized throughout the aviation industry as a reputable aviation engineering and manufacturing firm by providing customers with turnkey design solutions that result in lower cost kits, shorter installation time and a favorable approach process. Astronics tailors services to fit customers' specific needs and then develop a matching installation kit with FAA certification and the capability to provide foreign approval (EASA, CASA, CAAC, JCAB, CTA, etc...).

It is the commitment to quality that distinguishes Astronics Armstrong Aerospace from other aviation engineering and consulting companies.

Throughout the years, Astronics Armstrong Aerospace has worked on over 115 STC projects and holds over 90 US and Foreign STCs.

In 1999, Armstrong Aerospace was contracted by Astronics to install in-seat power systems, starting a long term partnership that led to Astronics' acquisition of Armstrong Aerospace in January of 2015.
