The company was formed in 1984 by Danny Maher in Sebastian, Florida. It was built to develop a four seat canard aircraft based on the Long-EZ design. The prototype flew in July 1985. The Swing family bought the company assets in 1992 and still owns and runs the company. The site says the company has about 20 full-time employees.

The site describes the Velocity as a high performance airplane. It says the aircraft can fly 1,000 mile cross country trips at speeds above 200 knots while carrying four adults and baggage.
