SUPERIOR QUALITY PANEL FASTENER MANUFACTURING
Since 2004, Skybolt has been a top rated fastener supplier for the Airbus A380 program. Interestingly, the world’ largest passenger jet has the world’s lightest Skybolt Skytanium® panel fasteners in the Honeywell supplied avionics cabinets. Our ZG2500 line of ¼-Turn fasteners was specifically designed for weight reduction with no sacrifice in performance. The ZG2500 allowed smaller thru holes and edge distance tolerances not offered in traditional 2000 series fasteners. As a spinoff of our proven racing fasteners, we literally designed and built the ZG2500 series parts in 7 minutes and 50 seconds while the Honeywell engineer was on hold late on a Friday. He had prototypes in his hand on Saturday morning. After an onsite vetting process, our fastener was approved in record time and has since become a staple in our vast product line of innovative fasteners. A Skybolt designed Ring Fastener (our SK2600R Series) is now standard equipment on premium commercial aircraft plumbing modals typical on all modern Boeing and Airbus airplanes. Aircraft interior component companies are turning to Skybolt designs for not only weight savings, but lead times and cost saving innovations..

About Skybolt Aerospace Fasteners
ogether, Ned and Debra bring decades of aviation experience, business, and engineering expertise to our manufacturing business.

Some History…As a young aviator, Ned built his first airplane in the family basement in Goose Bay, Labrador at age 5, where his father, Lt. Col. Win Bowers, was stationed after WWII during his career in the United States Air Force. Ned’s first engineering job was with NASA on the Saturn V during Apollo, Skylab, and the Shuttle design program. Ned was hired by National Airlines in 1979 and is a recently retired Boeing 767-400ER Delta Air Lines Captain. All said and done, between National, Pan Am and Delta, Ned flew over 1,000 Atlantic crossings, 25,000 hours with a perfect safety record, spanning 38 years flying for major airlines. “This kind of record was not by chance; it came from accepting the responsibility, and the consistent respect I have for the profession and the many support people dedicated to policy and integrity”. Ned brings that same dedication to Skybolt and to our incredible team every day.

As Vice President & General Manager, Debra oversees and manages the daily operations of Skybolt, since February, 2001. Her background includes many years of experience in sales, marketing, and event management within the aviation market, including her position as Programs & Development Director for the Sun ‘n Fun Air Museum from 1988. In 1993, Debra joined Kermit Weeks as a member of his Opening Team at Fantasy of Flight as the Director of Marketing until 2001, before coming on board with Skybolt.
Debra is a volunteer and member of the EAA Air Operations Team in Oshkosh, WI, working with the Air Ops Chairmen, Performers, and special guests and continues to work with Stallion 51 Corp. during special events throughout the year. An aviation professional with a keen instinct for customer appreciation and service, Debra rounds out a purposeful management team that represents the absolute finest in aviation expertise.
