Formerly known as Universal Propulsion Company, Inc. (UPCO), Aircraft Interior Products Propulsion Systems is a wholly owned subsidiary of Goodrich Corporation, whose headquarters are located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Aircraft Interior Products Propulsion Systems provides research, design, development, qualification, and manufacture of complete aircraft ejection systems plus related individual components such as rocket motors and catapults, pyrotechnic gas generators, ejection seats, precision electro-explosive devices, propellants, linear actuators, safety and arming devices plus explosive event control networks. This same technology has been applied to strategic and tactical weapons, space exploration and other fields requiring safe, reliable sources of pyrotechnic energy.

We are the only U.S. ejection seat manufacturer offering complete aircrew escape systems, including canopy removal, sequencing systems and the ejection seat. In addition we offer component products such as gas generators, rocket motors, linear explosives, catapults and numerous cartridge actuated or propellant actuated devices for a wide variety of applications.

Propulsion Systems' engineering and manufacturing facilities are located north of Phoenix, Arizona and our Linear Products facility is located near Fairfield, California overlooking Travis Air force Base. This facility houses a state-of-the-art linear cord (detonating cord, TLX® detonating cord, ITLX® detonating cord, linear shaped charge) manufacturing capabilities.

Complementing our manufacturing facilities is the Hurricane Mesa Test Facility (HMTF). Located atop Hurricane Mesa near St. George in southern Utah, the 12,000ft. track is fully capable of handling propulsion velocities exceeding supersonic. It is the nation’s only privately owned supersonic test track.
