AeroTEC, Inc.

AeroTEC develops, tests and certifies new aerospace products, leveraging our integrated assets to help innovators everywhere bring their products to market quickly and efficiently.

AeroTEC was founded by Lee Human in 2003 to provide flight test services to STC companies like Aviation Partners Boeing. The company quickly grew and expanded its capabilities to include certification and engineering services. In 2011, AeroTEC was awarded a contract with Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation of America to test and certify the Mitsubishi Regional Jet (SpaceJet), which aided in the company’s rapid growth and facilities expansion in Seattle, WA and in Moses Lake, WA.

AeroTEC’s Flight Test Center (AFTC) in Moses Lake now boasts 182,000 square feet of hangar space in addition to engineering offices, manufacturing facilities and an MRO/aircraft modification center– all designed to support customer test programs.

Lee’s forward thinking has also led AeroTEC to focus on the product development and certification of emerging aerospace technologies, supporting customers who are developing electric, supersonic and eVTOL aircraft.

Today AeroTEC has grown to 200 employees over three sites and has supported well over 100 aircraft modification programs ranging from radar and Wi-Fi STC’s to widebody cargo conversions, winglets, and three clean sheet aircraft TC projects. AeroTEC is currently deploying its expertise in designing, manufacturing, flight test and certification to its third, fourth and fifth electric aircraft programs – the Universal Hydrogen fuel cell electric Dash-8, the NASA/magniX Electric Propulsion Flight Demonstrator (EPFD) Hybrid Dash-8, and the Surf Air hybrid electric Caravan.
