Heart Aerospace is pleased to announce the appointment of Brittany Churchill as Vice President of Operations and member of the Executive Leadership Team.
As VP of Operations, Churchill will lead Heart’s integrated manufacturing and operations organization, including production, quality, safety, supply chain, facilities, and manufacturing engineering. A mechanical engineer and manufacturing executive, she brings deep experience scaling complex hardware programs across commercial aviation, traditional aerospace, and next-generation space launch.
At Heart, Churchill will drive the industrialization of the ES-30 regional hybrid-electric aircraft, directing its transition from prototype to full-rate production. Her initial priorities include finalizing the Heart X1 prototype, overseeing manufacturing of the X2 demonstrator, and building out the ES-30 production system.
Churchill joins Heart from ABL Space Systems (now Long Wall), where she served as Vice President of Operations. At ABL, she led the vertically integrated manufacturing of the RS1 launch vehicle, an orbital rocket developed for commercial satellite providers and the U.S. Space Force.
Previously, she served as Production Manager at SpaceX during a pivotal shift from single use to rapidly reusable launch systems. Based at the company’s Hawthorne, CA headquarters, Churchill led a 70-person team responsible for production and refurbishment of components for the Falcon 9, the company’s flagship orbital launch vehicle, helping scale SpaceX’s high-throughput manufacturing model.
In her early career, Churchill served as a Senior Engineer at Delta Air Lines TechOps, overseeing subsystem reliability for the carrier’s Boeing 757, 767, and 777 fleets before directing powerplant reliability of the 717’s Rolls-Royce BR715 engine. She began her career at Boeing as a structural design engineer on the 777X program, supporting fuselage development at the company’s Everett Production Facility and advanced R&D at Boeing’s Huntsville, Alabama location.
“Brittany embodies American excellence in next-generation aerospace manufacturing,” said Anders Forslund, Founder and CEO of Heart Aerospace. “She’s helped drive the culture of speed, iteration, and integration that defines the modern space race and now she’s bringing that mindset to electric aviation. Her technical leadership will be critical as Heart builds an advanced industrial system to deliver on our mission.”
Churchill holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech and an M.B.A. from MIT. She joins Heart’s Executive Leadership Team effective immediately and is based at the company’s El Segundo headquarters.
