What this shows Aircraft's Innovation Score is 21.8/100 (9th percentile of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Aircraft?

Each dot is one of Aircraft’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Aircraft’s own 4.1 claims/patent is at or below the 15.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Aircraft's grants concentrate

Aircraft Gear Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 21.4% of grants classified under F16D (Couplings FOR Transmitting ROTATION; CLUTCHES; Brakes). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Aircraft sits between Agility Robotics, Inc. and Ambature, Inc..

Aircraft's three-year grant acceleration

Aircraft Gear Corporation shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
