B83 works closely with a seasoned industry professional specializing in cab design and structural analysis to support clients throughout the development cycle. This collaboration enhances B83’s ability to provide actionable feedback, optimize cab geometry, and ensure compliance with evolving safety standards.

Company background:
DeltaHawk was founded in 1996 by Doug &Diane Doers and John (JP) Brooks. Doug was an experienced military and civilian pilot and mechanical engineer, Diane had extensive business experience, and JP was an experienced military pilot and American Airlines Captain. Together, they had the vison to create a modern engine that was cleaner, more efficient, and required less maintenance along with bringing improved performance and higher reliability to General Aviation. This highly ambitious project turned out to be substantially more difficult and much more costly than they imagined, but their stubborn perseverance drove them to continue towards their goal, long after most others would have given up. Through many years of dedicated effort, averaging only 2-3 employees, progress was slow, with lack of funding being the major impediment to both engine completion and achieving FAA Type Certification. In 2015, Al and Chris Ruud became aware of DeltaHawk’s situation, so with their shared vision, dedication, perseverance and financial support the engine achieved FAA Type Certification in 2023
