The Javelin is a small high-speed personal jet being developed by the Aviation Technology Group (ATG). Planned for FAA certification under 14 CFR part 23, the Javelin has a design resembling a fighter aircraft, an unusual concept for civilian jets. The Javelin MK-20 derivative, being developed in cooperation between ATG and Israel Aerospace Industries, is expected to fill the jet trainer role for various air forces. The Javelin is designed to look and perform like a fighter jet. Pre-orders are being sold for approximately US$ 2.995 million in the civil market.

ATG is presently headquartered at Centennial Airport (KAPA) in Centennial, Colorado [ [http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2007/dec/19/jet-builder-atg-faces-financial-woes/ Rocky Mountain News: Jet Builder ATG Faces Financial Woes] ] , with manufacturing facilities at Front Range Airport (KFTG) in neighboring Aurora.

Development

The first prototype took flight on 30 September, 2005.

Aviation Technology Group halted all further development on the Javelin in December 2007 after failing to get $200 million to finance further development. 40 of its 50 employees were also let go.
