For some time now, the Colombian National Army Aviation School has been developing technology innovation projects without management models that respond to the characteristics of the products and the needs of the aeronautical industry. For this reason, this document presents a model for the development of technology innovation projects focused on this field, integrating good project management practices from the analysis and development of products, models, and international engineering standards for their application in future projects. This model was applied to the design of a digital test bench for the Generator Control Unit (GCU) troubleshooting tests on the Beechcraft King aircraft, where we analyzed its application in each phase of development of the project and the final result regarding time, costs, and scope. As a result, it was possible to determine that the model contributed to the correct management of the project in each phase, and ensured adequate compliance with time, and technical and quality procedures, compared to another project executed without the use of the model. The evaluation of the model also made it possible to verify the innovation of the product, which in this case had a structural approach, so it can be considered an IIP (Integrate, Innovation, Process) integrated model, allowing the generation of new knowledge and new business models in later phases of maturation and future commercialization.
