We Engineer Confidence, on the ground and in the sky
Born from a deep-rooted passion for precision engineering, Applied Carbon unites two specialized divisions under one mission:
Deliver high-performance using cutting edge aerospace and motorsports solutions
Aviation
Whether designing advanced aircraft systems or race-ready components, we blend decades of engineering excellence with relentless innovation.
Our aerospace division Applied Carbon Aircraft (ACA) operates at the forefront of aviation technology. With a foundation in proven performance and a drive for continual advancement, we create intelligent, efficient, and reliable aerospace solutions tailored to meet the evolving demands of modern flight.
Motorsports
Our race division Applied Carbon Racing (ACR) brings the same level of craftsmanship and performance focus to the world of motorsport. Founded by accomplished engineers with a background at Koenigsegg and in aerospace, ACR was born out of a love for speed, and precision. From weekend racers to professional teams, our custom-designed racing products push boundaries and deliver results.
Across both divisions, our work is fueled by a shared dedication to innovation, safety, and performance. We don’t just build aircraft or racing parts, we build trust, empower progress, and engineer the future.
