David Groen and Robin Wilson, currently the Board members of GBA Inc., will continue in those roles at GBA Inc. with Mr. Groen as Chairman, President and CEO and Mr. Wilson as EVP & COO.
David Groen commented on the success of the recapitalization of Groen Brothers Aviation: "It has been a long hard push with many ups and downs -- great highs include: flight of the world's first turbine engine powered gyroplane and flying the Hawk 4 Gyroplane for critical security during the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympic Games, to name just a few; and painful lows: two major layoffs and the loss to cancer of my brother Jay. We look forward with great excitement to the proper commercialization of these amazing technologies we've worked so long and at such great cost to develop."
About Groen Brothers Aviation
Groen Brothers Aviation has been developing gyroplane technology since 1986 and is recognized as a leading authority on sustained autorotative flight. Powered by a Rolls-Royce gas turbine engine, GBA developed the world's first commercially viable modern gyroplane -- the first "autogiro" to utilize a jet engine -- the Hawk 4 Gyroplane. The Hawk 4 was used extensively for security aerial patrol missions during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
As announced on July 26, 2012, the Wuhai Aviation Industrial Park with anchor tenant GBA Global JV anticipates including full airport facilities capable of properly handling general aviation operations, including a runway sufficient in length and size for use by executive business jets up to the Gulfstream sized aircraft. In addition to the manufacturing facilities and airport terminal operations located within the Wuhai Aviation Industrial Park, it is anticipated that there will be training facilities for aircraft assembly personnel, aircraft "A&P" mechanics training, and both fixed wing and rotor wing pilot training with a pilot center and flying club; a research and development center; a not for profit aviation technology training center; and employee and student housing.
