Technology

Electric Motors

Rapid progress over the past decade in direct-drive electric motors and efficient motor controllers has resulted in light, powerful, and reliable motors which will provide the propulsion to make the dream of personal electric aircraft a reality.

Batteries

The latest generation of lithium polymer batteries (Lithium Nickel Cobalt Manganese Oxide - LiNiCoMnO2) have not just the power density required for vertical take off and landing, but also the energy required to fly a useful distance.

Sensors

Sensor technologies developed to power consumer electronics like cell phones and the Wii remote give us the sensing capabilities once reserved for rockets all on a PCB the size of a postage stamp.

Control Systems

Redundant systems are at the core of our effort to build robust electric VTOL aircraft capable of transporting you more safely than your automobile.
