Acquired global IP rights to a type-certified high-performance turboprop utility aircraft from Airbus Poland S.A. under an agreement signed 6 October 2023 - an IP purchase, not a stake. corvustac.com
Its contact page declares the head office as St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador and gives its address as 153 Glencoe Drive, Mount Pearl. It was incorporated in the province on 2019-07-25. corvustac.com
Positioning the RAVEN with 90% Canadian content for serial production on type-certified IP, at 3,500 kg maximum takeoff weight with a PT6A-34AG engine and an 1,800 litre hopper. corvustac.com
Awarded $400,000 by ACOA in September 2025, running to October 2026, to design and develop the redesigned utility aircraft. search.open.canada.ca
NRC IRAP funded a $178,209 technology development phase in 2024 covering design gap analyses and a new functional baseline for Canadian production of the legacy airframe. search.open.canada.ca
Scope note: the roughly $3 billion Strategic Tanker Transport Capability figure associated with this opportunity is the RCAF contract with Airbus, not money to Corvus. corvustac.com
Its NRC IRAP record has been amended twice, with a total amended value of $80,000 stated at 2025-02-19. Whether that adds to or restates the $178,209 is not determinable from the disclosure. search.open.canada.ca
