INVENTING AEROSPACE

If you have always believed that modern aircraft are not nearly as incredible as they could be, then Stavatti is a place for you. Here is where you invent and build the flying machines which would otherwise remain science fiction. At Stavatti, the mission is to create outstanding aerospace vehicles for military and general aviation. Once designed, developed, qualified and produced to perfection, those aerospace vehicles must be marketed, distributed and supported worldwide. Stavatti requires talented, mature professionals to make this company the leader in aerospace excellence.
