Aviation Centre Of Excellence
The Aviation Centre of Excellence (ACE) is the aviation department facility for Confederation College. The building consists of two hangars, classrooms, shops, labs, and offices for the three aviation programs available at the School of Aviation.

With the support and capital of the new partners from Medellín, they embarked on the successful enterprise that would be ACES. The airline began service on February 22, 1972, with Saunders ST-27 aircraft for the ...

Ace Aircraft Manufacturing Company
The Ace Aircraft Manufacturing Company was established in Wichita, Kansas in 1929 by Orland Corben to market the world's first homebuilt aircraft, a machine of his own design called the Baby Ace. The enterprise did not last long before US regulations changed to restrict homebuilt aircraft, and Corben was forced to stop marketing his design. He next commenced operations in Madison, Wisconsin in 1931 under the name Corben Sport Plane and Supply Company and produced a prototype sports plane known as the Super Ace. This endeavor soon languished, and the company remained dormant until Paul Poberezny purchased its assets for $US 200 in 1952. This included plans to three aircraft designs and a variety of components. Poberezny was one of the founders of the Experimental Aircraft Association in 1953 and was approached by ''Mechanix Illustrated'' magazine the following year to write a series of articles on building an aircraft at home. Their publication caused considerable demand for pl ...
