The challenge

Because assumptions don’t fly.

In aviation, even small missteps carry big costs. Flying Aces ensures design decisions are informed by the people who live aviation every day—reducing risk and creating solutions that perform in practice, not just on paper.

The Community

Every role. Every voice.

Designing for aviation is complex because no single perspective tells the full story. Pilots know the cockpit; flight attendants understand service under pressure; technicians see where systems fail; passengers reveal the experience gaps—each offers a unique lens on aviation’s challenges and opportunities. Together, they provide the comprehensive insights no single focus group can match.
