Also intended to fill the jet trainer role for various air forces, the Javelin is designed to look and perform like a fighter jet. It is said to look like a cross between an F-5 and a F/A-18. It is expected to sell for about US$ 2.795 million in the civil market.

[edit] Suppliers
Because of stringent performance requirements, ATG has elected to extensively use light weight composite materials for the Javelin. In 2005, ATG has announced its partnership with Applied Composite Technology Aerospace (ACTA) headed by CEO Roland Christensen and VP Jason Christensen. ACTA, an aerospace composite part designer and manufacturer based in Gunnison, Utah, will be supplying the flying and control surfaces.
