AIREON LLC Launches Highly Detailed, Collector-Grade CORGI Model Airplane, Blending Aerospace Tech with Aviation History

McLean, VA – October 26, 2023 – AIREON LLC, a leading innovator in space-based aircraft tracking and aviation intelligence, today announced the release of a meticulously crafted CORGI model airplane. While known for revolutionizing air traffic surveillance from space, this venture marks AIREON’s surprising – yet delightful – foray into the world of high-end collectible aviation models. AIREON, headquartered at 8484 WESTPARK DRIVE, SUITE 300, MCLEAN, VA, 22102, has spent years building a game-changing network of space-based ADS-B receivers. This technology delivers real-time, global aircraft tracking, significantly improving air traffic safety, efficiency, and situational awareness. You might be thinking, “What does space tech have to do with model airplanes?” The answer, according to AIREON CEO, Paul McElreath, is surprisingly simple: precision, detail, and a deep appreciation for aviation. “At AIREON, we’re obsessed with tracking every aircraft in the sky. That demands a level of detail and accuracy that extends to everything we do,” McElreath explains. “We realized that same commitment to precision could be applied to creating an exceptional model airplane – something truly special for collectors and aviation enthusiasts.” More Than Just a Model: A Testament to Aviation Excellence The CORGI model isn't your typical shelf decoration. AIREON collaborated with expert model builders and aviation historians to ensure the accuracy and quality of this collectible. It's not just a model; it’s a statement piece. So what exactly makes this CORGI model stand out? Unparalleled Detail: Forget about simplified representations. This model boasts an incredibly detailed exterior, replicating every panel line, rivet, and antenna. The paint scheme is painstakingly accurate, matching the historical livery of the chosen aircraft. We're talking museum-quality detail. Authentic Materials: AIREON didn’t cut corners. The model is constructed from high-quality die-cast metal and durable plastics, providing a substantial weight and realistic feel. Even the tiny details, like the landing gear struts and cockpit instrumentation, are crafted with precision. Historical Accuracy: AIREON understands that collectors appreciate authenticity. Each model is based on a meticulously researched aircraft, ensuring the correct colors, markings, and configuration for a specific period in aviation history. They’ve really gone the extra mile on research. Collector’s Edition Packaging: The model is presented in a custom-designed display box, complete with historical information about the aircraft and its significance. It’s not just a model; it’s a piece of aviation history you can proudly display. Limited Run: To maintain exclusivity, each CORGI model will be produced in a limited quantity. This ensures that each piece remains a valuable collectible for years to come. From Tracking Planes in Space to Replicating Them on Your Shelf AIREON’s core business is about seeing the big picture – literally. Their space-based surveillance system tracks aircraft globally, providing real-time data to air traffic controllers, airlines, and aviation stakeholders. This technology has major implications for safety and efficiency. “We're seeing things that were previously invisible to traditional radar systems,” says Kyle Martin, AIREON’s Chief Technology Officer. “Our data is helping to optimize flight paths, reduce delays, and improve overall air traffic management. We felt that same dedication to pushing boundaries should extend to everything we create.” The creation of the CORGI model airplane is, in a way, a natural extension of that philosophy. It’s about celebrating the beauty and ingenuity of aviation. “We wanted to create something tangible, something that aviation enthusiasts could appreciate on a different level,” McElreath explains. “It's a nod to the history of flight, and a celebration of the incredible machines that have shaped our world.” More Than Just a Hobby – A Commitment to Quality AIREON's entry into the model airplane market isn't just a whimsical side project. It's a demonstration of the company’s commitment to quality, precision, and attention to detail. They've taken the same approach to building this model that they do to building their revolutionary space-based surveillance system. “We didn’t want to just slap a logo on a generic model,” Martin says. “We wanted to create something truly exceptional, something that collectors would be proud to own.” The company plans to release a series of CORGI model airplanes, each representing a significant aircraft from aviation history. They’re already working on designs for iconic planes from World War II, the Jet Age, and the modern era.
