Development of the Adam Aircraft
A500
Featuring
Dennis Olcott
VP Engineering,
Adam Aircraft
19 April 2006
5:00 to 7:00 pm
Location:
Boeing Bldg. 33 Cafeteria
Adam Aircraft, of Englewood Colorado, was founded in 1998 to design and manufacture advanced civil
aircraft. They use computer-aided design, rapid prototyping, advanced manufacturing, and composite
materials to quickly develop high performance aircraft. Their first offering is the twin engine A500.
The A500 is a six place, center-line thrust twin engine executive class aircraft. The pressurized fuselage
rests on a 40-ft. wing while twin booms support the distinctive horizontal tail. Leveraging NASA
research, the A500 incorporates side-stick controls, single-lever engine controls, and automotive like
warning sensors. The twin engines use a Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) to provide
improved fuel consumption and longer range.
Many Adam manufacturing and management techniques have been borrowed from non-aviation
industries, such as the computer industry. CAD design, CFD validation, and virtual trade studies helped
to rapidly refine the A500 design. Innovative work schedules of 12-hour shifts for 3 days, followed by 4
days off, have increased productivity and design maturation.
Mr. Olcott will give a perspective of Adam Aircraft design, management techniques, and the A500
development. Adam Aircraft is now manufacturing the A500 and applying the lessons learned to develop
the A700 twinjet version.

fly girls workshop
Fly Girls Workshop
AIAA volunteers assisted Women with Wings in the
first annual Fly Girls workshop at the Spirit Airport,
Wings of Hope hangar. About 20 Girl Scouts rotated
through seven interactive aviation related topic areas.
Girls covered aviation topics areas of:
• Dynamic Forces of Flight
• Navigating Maps, Terrain, and Airports
• Weather Basics
• Aviation Pen Pals
• Airplane Controls-past, present, and future
• Tower Talk and Communications
• Career Exploration
The workshop was fast paced and provided girls
with an overview of how women can and do play
a part in the vast world of aviation. From simply
working for an airline or manufacturer, all the way
to flying personally or professionally. The various
interactive project areas encouraged girls to learn more
about possible opportunities in aviation as they look
to high school and beyond. At the conclusion of the
day’s activities each girl received a Fly Girls badge and
certificate.

Chairman’s Corner
Congratulations to Dave Riley on his recent election as
“AIAA Technical Director of the Aerospace Science Group”.
Dave has been a long term member of the St. Louis Section
and has served our section admirably in the past. There are
a lot of St. Louis Section members that are serving AIAA
on various national committees and technical committees.
The nomination period for AIAA Technical Committees
(TCs) will open on 1 August 2006 for terms starting in May
2007. Boeing employees will need the approval of your
Department head to be nominated for a Technical Committee.
Presently, there are sixty-six technical committees and the
descriptions of their missions can be found on the AIAA
national web site. The St. Louis Section of AIAA needs some
new members and is planning a “New Member” drive at the
April Dinner meeting. Anyone who brings a perspective new
member will be eligible to win a prize. Stay tuned for more
details. Additionally, the Technical Specialist committee is
presenting our annual “Senior Design Project Presentations”
on Wednesday April 26. This is where all the local University
design teams present their design projects. We are planning
to make this event “even more special” this year by inviting
our local High School students to attend to give the students
a flavor of aerospace employment opportunities. Frank
Youkhana, Technical Specialist Meeting Chairman, is looking
for volunteers to help with this meeting.
