Aerospace Quality Research and Development, Inc.

Aerospace Quality R&D is an Aerospace engineering firm and full capability repair station in Addison, TX. Their team of entrepreneurial, enthusiastic and client-focused team members are the face of AQRD, helping customers both individually and broadly keep their airplanes in the air. In an industry in which the original manufacturer has a monopoly on aircraft repairs, AQRD has brought whole new options to aircraft owners and operators. AQRD was founded on the premise that the Aerospace industry needed other options for FAA approved engineering and component repairs. The vision of engineering through the eyes of the mechanic and turn-key repairs creating our own technical data has propelled the company as one of the entrepreneurial disrupters in the industry, challenging the way things are done. AQRD also houses multiple fighter jet programs, as well as two Beech Starship aircraft, in which only four exist worldwide.
