Vector90 Aviation is building an engineering internship program focused on innovation in general aviation propulsion systems. This initiative is designed to give engineering students practical experience while helping solve real challenges in piston aircraft engine technology.
Our vision is to create a pipeline where talented students, universities, and industry professionals work together to improve engine performance, efficiency, reliability, and long-term sustainability in the GA market.

To develop future engineering talent while driving meaningful innovation in general aviation engine systems through hands-on projects, mentorship, and industry collaboration.
Research opportunities to improve power output, cooling efficiency, combustion consistency, and operational reliability.
Develop ideas to improve legacy Lycoming and Continental engine systems using modern materials, sensors, and manufacturing methods.
Create smarter methods to identify wear trends, reduce unscheduled downtime, and improve troubleshooting accuracy.
Explore advanced machining, component repair processes, and cost-effective production methods for critical engine parts.
Evaluate future technologies such as hybrid systems, sustainable fuels, and next-generation propulsion concepts for GA aircraft.
Research ignition systems, sensors, power management, and engine monitoring technology to improve reliability, efficiency, and performance.

Vector90 Aviation plans to collaborate with universities across the country, including HBCUs and other institutions with highly respected engineering programs. We believe exceptional talent exists everywhere, and strategic partnerships can open doors for students while strengthening the aviation industry.
Potential partnership opportunities include:
General aviation propulsion has seen limited modernization compared to other transportation sectors. This program is designed to help close that gap by bringing fresh engineering talent and new ideas into an industry that is due for innovation.

If you represent a university, engineering department, grant organization, or student program and would like to discuss collaboration opportunities, we would welcome the conversation.
