WE ARE AFORMX

AFormX was incorporated in 2008. At this time (Q1 2023) our size is 20 full time employees with further rapid growth.

The history of AFormX can be divided into two phases. For more than 10 years we had been a very close contractor for Pipistrel. We had been key players in their most difficult projects like:

  • deploying 200 aircraft to the Indian Armed Forces
  • developing the on-line learning and VR simulator support for the two-seat program
  • flight-testing, creation of the training system and deploying the first experimental electrical aircraft (ALPHA Electro) and the first certified aircraft (Velis Electro).

During this decade of work on the cutting edge of aviation we had become aware that rapid progress in aerospace is hindered by two common obstacles. Product design is usually slightly off and delivery of airframes is almost always late.

We had structured AFormX to help you navigate around these two obstacles. We improve the product design and communication with our Simulation studio. We help in delivering airframes with our Airframes production capacity.

With the sale of Pipistrel to Textron our business with Pipistrel significantly expanded on one hand, but the team of AFormX was also emotionally released to support great aviation projects outside the national limits of Slovenia.

We are open, happy and interested to become a partner in your exciting projects.

Our work has also been recognized by several awards. In the national context we must value the National golden award for innovation in 2017. In the international context we are most proud to have won the Royal Aeronautical Society Design Competition (UK) in 2019.

We are here to stay, we are willing to spend the time and effort to build close relationships that are needed to supply both airframes and simulations.

Welcome to AFormX. We can’t wait to learn more about your needs.

OUR COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY

Our company, along with its leadership, owners, and employees, is actively involved in supporting the local community. We collaborate with high school and university students and educational institutions, offering young individuals the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning and seasonal work, where we share our knowledge and expertise with them.

Our support is primarily focused on the aviation in local community and the areas we have outlined, so we strive to concentrate on these initiatives and respond to them as effectively as possible.

During extreme weather events and natural disasters, we respond with our equipment, knowledge, and collaborative efforts to assist the local community. We allow and encourage our employees to participate as reservists in civil defense, as military reservists, and with other government entities.
