Our history

First steps

Since 1995, we have built high-quality replica Spitfires – static display models, gate guardians, and film props. Our immersion within Spitfire design, and expertise in composite aviation structures, has informed accurate and visually striking replicas that capture the spirit of the Spitfire. Aerolite’s expert aviation-focused engineers and designers are set for lift off. 

Building on deep knowledge of Spitfire design:

Our industry experts have developed a full-size, two-seater Spitfire, its fuselage crafted entirely from advanced carbon composite materials. This accessible next-generation aircraft is designed for the general aviation (GA) kit market, offering the opportunity to own and build (or choose assisted build) to achieve a modern interpretation of this legendary warbird.

Our concept aircraft launched May 2026 - to a media storm.

An advanced design and development process is already well underway.

Collaboration with our choice of engine manufacturing partner to integrate a high-performance powertrain will ensure authenticity and exceptional flight capabilities. Our team includes a dedicated project manager, an experienced aeronautical engineer, skilled fabricators, and specialist composite manufacturers and designers.

Significant investment.

The right people backing Aerolite Spitfire’s rise is important to bring this ambitious project to life.

We are actively seeking additional investors and sponsors who share our vision. With our backers’ support, we will deliver an innovative, high-performance Spitfire that honours the aircraft’s heritage while embracing cutting-edge aviation technology.  We are building something special: an heir to an icon.

A new chapter in the Spitfire’s story.

A remarkable journey and a new chapter in the story of the Spitfire.  History and innovation combined – delivering beyond dreams and flights of ambition.
