This Schedule 13D (as may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule 13D”) relates to the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of Innovative Solutions and Support, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Company”). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 720 Pennsylvania Drive, Exton, Pennsylvania 19341.

Item 2. Identity and Background

This Schedule 13D is being filed by Christopher Harborne and Klear Kite LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Klear Kite,” and each of Mr. Harborne and Klear Kite are referred to herein individually as a “Reporting Person,” and, together, as the “Reporting Persons”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Mr. Harborne is a businessman and investor. He is a citizen of both Great Britain and Thailand (with his Thai citizenship held under his Thai name, Chakrit Sakunkrit). His business address is 23F M Thai Tower, All Seasons Place, 87 Wireless Road, Bangkok 10300 Thailand.

The principal business of Klear Kite is serving as a holding company for investments by Mr. Harborne. Mr. Harborne is the sole member of Klear Kite and thus controls Klear Kite. The address of the principal business and the principal office of Klear Kite is 1201 Orange Street, Suite 600, Wilmington, Delaware, 19801.

During the last five years, neither of the Reporting Persons has been: (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The aggregate purchase price of the 2,026,445 Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is approximately $16,439,732.97, including brokerage commissions. All of the Shares were acquired with Mr. Harborne’s personal funds.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Mr. Harborne is a long-time owner of, and investor in, companies operating in the aviation, aerospace and defense industries. The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares reported herein for investment purposes. 

The Reporting Persons believe that the Company makes a valuable contribution to the aerospace industry as an independent innovative company and also believe that the Shares represent an attractive investment. The Reporting Persons expect to review from time to time their investment in the Company and depending upon the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase of additional Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase their position in the Company through, among other things, the purchase of Shares on the open market, in private transactions, or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable. The Reporting Persons wish to be constructive and supportive shareholders of the Company and, as the Reporting Persons have previously communicated to management of the Company, they have no plan or intention to seek control of the Company or to combine any business owned by Mr. Harborne with the Company.

The Reporting Persons have engaged in communications with the management of the Company and expect in the future to engage in further communications with management and the Company’s Board of Directors, including without limitation, regarding the Company and its operations.
