The idea for what is now known as the ProJet started four years ago during a conversation between Carey Robinson Wolchok, then a principal at private equity group Aero-Equity, and Israel Aircraft Industries founder Al Schwimmer. That conversation was obviously influenced by the then recently announced Eclipse 500 very light jet, and a relationship was born.

This relationship formed the foundation for the ProJet. To develop this airplane, Wolchok incorporated Pulsar Aerospace two years ago, and the company was renamed Avocet (after a small seabird) earlier this year. Wolchok is the chairman of Avocet and Schwimmer sits on the company’s nine-person advisory board.
