About THE Company
History
From the dawn of the age of all-metal aircraft, Stouts have played very important roles in aviation design, operation and safety. William B. Stout started it all with the Ford-Stout trimotor airplane, which became the first successful commercial airplane in the United States. He also started the Stout Metal Airplane Company along with Stout Air Services - the first regularly scheduled airline in the United States. William Stout also invented America's first flying car, called the Skycar, pioneering a new avenue for future aviation.
Since then, Stouts have also been committed to aviation, logging thousands of hours as civilian and military aviators. They have helped the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) develop a differential global positioning system (DGPS) to improve flight accuracy, along with creating standards for airport DGPS testing and performance. Within the last couple decades, Stouts have also been involved in aircraft design integration, aircraft testing and certification, serving on an SAE committee for electrified propulsion, and even branching out with unmanned aerial vehicle development, operation and services.
Today Stout Aviation LLC, founded by Darren Stout, continues the family commitment to the aviation world with a business model that involves aircraft, certification, research, and education. Keeping aircraft safe and educating the public on essential aerospace topics are some of the ways this company wants to help you and your company achieve new heights.
Aircraft Certification Research and Education
Aircraft Certification Research and Education (ACRE) are what Stout Aviation considers topics of a very dynamic and innovative aeronautical business model that not only looks at each of those topics individually, but also combinations thereof. In today's aerospace world, in order to remain successfully dynamic and innovative, not only do you need to be experts on each of those topics, but you also need to be experts at blending those topics together to produce better products and services than if your focus was on those topics individually. Stout Aviation can help you and your company achieve new heights, helping you and your company get off the ground -- and safely get to its destination, too!
Education Opportunities Through KU Jayhawk Global
Having strong knowledge on essential aerospace topics is key to the overall success of many aerospace businesses and their employees. Stout Aviation recognizes this, and is proud to partner with Kansas University Jayhawk Global and their dedication to aerospace education. Since 2015, KU Aerospace Short Courses have relied on Stout Aviation to teach a wide variety of aerospace topics, including electromagnetic compliance (EMC), high intensity radiated fields (HIRF), lightning, electrical bonding and grounding, RTCA/DO-160 requirements and laboratory testing, aircraft testing and certification, and even fuel tank safety. These topics are taught online, in person at company sites, and at KU Jayhawk Global seminars. Future advanced class topics, presently in development by Stout Avionics, will focus more on aircraft subsystem integration, installation, safety, and continued airworthiness.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)
Unmanned aerial vehicles (aka drones) are rapidly gaining recognition in modern recreational, commercial and military aviation. As the demand increases for UAVs and the services they offer, there is also great concern about the safe operation and separation of UAVs from people, property and other aircraft. Stout Aviation continues to be actively involved with unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned aircraft systems, including participating in an SAE committee for electrified propulsion, researching UAV regulations, and also offering drone services for personal and commercial purposes.
Some of the drone services offered by Stout Aviation LLC include:
