Hidden in rural southeastern Illinois, Flying S operates from an unassuming metal building that houses a highly skilled team of engineers, machinists, and technicians. The company specializes in rapid prototyping and advanced
manufacturing, producing everything from carbon-fiber aircraft components to precision molds and machined parts. Equipped to manage projects from raw materials through finished, painted products, Flying S emphasizes quality and efficiency. Since its founding, owners David Shaw and Penny Shaw have fostered a family-centered culture, encouraging connection, collaboration, and balance through shared spaces, outdoor amenities, and a strong sense of community
