Revolutionary power for future aviation
Breakthrough technology – dramatically extended range with reduced climate impact
Power for rugged stratospheric platforms
Game changing capability for small aircraft and UAVs
A viable route to decarbonising larger aviation
A new category of power system, transforming today's aviation and enabling tomorrow's
Our technology
Foundational
Powered by practical green liquid fuels with minimal CO2 and zero particulate or NOx emissions. No contrails.
Designed for flight
Power-to-weight ratio of jet engines with the efficiency of batteries. Uniquely scalable from drones to jets.
High value manufacturing
A blend of electronics component manufacture with battery design and solid oxide fuel cell technology.
Key sectors
Where we transform performance and economics
Stratospheric platforms
Rugged High-Altitude Pseudo Satellites remaining in the stratosphere for days and weeks to deliver high-capacity communications, intelligent monitoring and security. Cheaper and more flexible than Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites.
Breakthrough UAVs
Extraordinary capability transforming endurance, payload and speed while supporting high-power on-board systems. UAVs take on missions that previously required crewed platforms.
Beyond auxiliary
A fundamentally new power system changing the landscape for APUs, enabling them to exceed the efficiency of main engines for the next generation of airframes.
Hypanode enables low emission aviation without the range limits of green technologies currently in development. Retain existing route economics and aviation infrastructure.
Sustainable aviation
A growing team committed to solving one of the world’s greatest problems
