ATG Javelin

[TinWing]

The ATG Javelin in the sole tandem seat entry into the emergent VLJ (Very Light Jet) market. By virtue of its configuration, IAI has entered into a parnership with ATG to develop and market the Javelin as a military trainer.

EADS is purchasing 10 ATG Javelin trainers for the French navy. Are the aircraft in question partial replacements for the long retired Fouga Zephyr and Paris II?

The great irony is that the cancelled Fairchild T-46 - or the earlier unsold Fouga 90 - might have been considered the first modern VLJ.

Ok, I know it was maybe too long time ago but...
The Javelin bought by EADS are not to be used into the "naval trainer" role as the Zephyr were. from 1995, Aeronavale pilots are trained on T-45 goshhawk in the USA. More, the Javelin are property of a private firm, AvDef.

good article on the fouga 90 here

Does anyone know what happened to the prototype, plus the molds and tooling to the ATG Javelin? Aviation Technology Group (ATG) went bankrupt in 2008 and the Javelin disappeared, but what happened to all that stuff?

Appears to have made several flights between Asheville and Smyrna on Feb 14.

Why are the flight times so short and so early in the morning? The data is VERY strange. ???

The Asheville and Smyrna are in two different timezones, which may be skewing their display of the position data. This is all probably one or two flights.

Artist's concept of the Javelin from the late 1990s:

ISTR the Javelin being marketed as a "homeland security fighter".

Were any armament options ever envisaged for the Javelin?
