DeltaHawk
In 1996, DeltaHawk Engines began the difficult journey of developing a clean sheet aircraft engine design but, like many aviation companies, struggled with a lack of funding. (Turns out it’s quite expensive to reinvent a category.) But DeltaHawk persevered. It wasn’t until successful commercialization entrepreneurs Chris and Al Ruud provided the significant funding and guidance needed that the realized dream could be brought to market. Even after decades in the making, no other aircraft engine manufacturer has significantly advanced their compression engines during this time.
Our campus, adjacent to Batten International Airport (KRAC) in Racine, Wisconsin, centralizes more than 85,000 square feet of facilities. Thanks to significant investment, we are able to design, assemble and test virtually every critical component of our engines in-house, allowing precise quality control throughout the build process. We operate state-of-the art facilities for engine and subsystems testing—including fuel and cooling systems, superchargers and propellers, along with ISO Class 8 clean rooms, installation kit development teams, fabrication and assembly capabilities, and flight test.
We hire people who are smart, goal-driven and excited about achieving the unimaginable. We focus on character and motivation, and then train for discrete skills. Our employees share common goals for the company, but celebrate diversity and perspectives from all walks of life. We simply want them to be the best they can be, inside and outside of the company.
We operate very much like a startup; everyone is a hands-on contributor. We encourage constructive ideas from all members of the team, and we constantly evolve to meet employee needs. We live by the credo that taking care of each other is good for all of us. And while others wait for the world to change, we want to change the world. One engine at a time.
