What they do

Problem

Electric aircraft and cargo drones suffer from limited range and payload due to inefficient aerodynamics and battery constraints, creating a performance and "green penalty" barrier to adoption.

Solution

The company provides an Aerodynamic Flow Control technology for electrified aircraft and a first product fixed-wing electric large cargo drone that improves range and payload by about 30%.

Who it's for

Operators and manufacturers of electrified aircraft, particularly those needing large cargo drone capability.
