Magellan Aerospace

Vehicle and Equipment Manufacturers

Magellan Aerospace Corporation is a Canadian manufacturer of aerospace systems and components, with its corporate offices in Mississauga, Ontario. It was formed in 1996 from the remains of Fleet Industries, a subsidiary of the US-based Fleet Aerospace, and through the 1990s it grew by buying Canadian aviation companies including Orenda Aerospace and Bristol Aerospace, both in 1997, and later US firms including Aeronca. Its business units cover aeroengines, aerostructures, rockets and space, and specialty products, and it also repairs, overhauls and tests engines and engine structural components. It supplies parts for aircraft such as the Airbus A380, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the F-35, and operates facilities in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.
