- Foster a new wave of innovation and creativity in aviation which will lower the overall cost of ownership;
- Provide new ways of building aircraft that the average unskilled builder can comfortably achieve success with;
- Create innovative, popular, safe and modern aircraft designs;
- Provide free and open source based files and plans for low-cost airframes; and
