AIRCRAFT RESEARCHERS GROUP

The Aircraft Researchers Group is providing opportunities for ongoing learning and professional networking within the collective interest surrounding aircraft research, aircraft sales, manufacturing, and leasing of business aviation aircraft.  

​

​In 2017, a small group of aircraft researchers met at NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) to network and strengthen connections. The event grew the following year, and in 2019 we formally became the Aircraft Researchers Group (ARG) LLC. As we continued this event at the NBAA convention, we were also able to expand our invite list to include appraisers, OEMS, and financial institutions, to enhance networking. Despite missing a year due to COVID, our annual events have become a “must attend.” 

​

As the community continued to grow, ARG expanded beyond the annual NBAA gathering. In 2023, we launched ARG Coffee Talks, virtual discussions that bring together researchers and industry professionals to share insights, explore emerging trends, and exchange ideas in an open forum.

​

We have also introduced regional ARG Happy Hours, creating more opportunities for in-person networking throughout the year around key industry events.

​

To keep conversations going between events, ARG now hosts a WhatsApp community where members can ask questions, share observations, and stay connected with peers across the industry.

​

Today, ARG continues to grow as a researcher-driven community focused on collaboration, knowledge sharing, and strengthening relationships across the business aviation ecosystem.
