The Club
The Club’s mission statement is to fly the Valkyrie, as much as possible, without a profit. It is correlating the enjoyment of its passengers and pilots, to the gathering of data and subsequent reliability buildup. Like any breakthrough, massively adopted product would seek.
The Valkyrie is designed and manufactured by Centauri, based in Hayward, CA. Centauri Aircraft, Inc. is owned and operated by its designer, David Loury, who lives in San Francisco with his family.
The Valkyrie is currently flown out of Castle Air Force Base (KMER), California. It will expand its capacities (ie. apply for reductions in limitations of its airworthiness certificate) as ongoing progress is established through flights, flier and pilot feedback, and real-life operational history.
David has manufactured 8 aircraft to date, and as of November 2018, 4 more are planned for 2019.
