Four Platforms. One Technology at the Core. A Cleaner Future in the Air. 

From surveillance drones to a space-access vehicle, our product family shares the same fundamental breakthrough: propulsion powered by the atmosphere itself. 

PRODUCT 01 

Small Class Atmospheric Energy Surveillance Drone

A drone that keeps going because the atmosphere keeps giving.

What It Is 

Our small-class surveillance drone looks, on the outside, much like any other fixed-wing UAV. What is different is everything underneath the skin. Instead of a battery pack with a fixed energy budget, this drone carries a closed-loop propulsion system that draws thermal energy from the air around it during flight and converts that energy into electrical power.

The result is a platform that is not constrained by the weight of batteries or the range limits they impose. It is not magic. It is thermodynamics. The same science that powers industrial heat engines, applied at drone scale for the first time.

Drone

How It Works

Think of it like this: the sun warms the atmosphere to a comfortable temperature. Our drone carries a very cold fluid in its wings. When warm air meets cold fluid, heat flows. That is physics, and it is unavoidable. We capture that heat, use it to drive a small turbine, generate electricity, and then recool the fluid so the cycle can repeat. The drone generates its own power as it flies.

The technical name for this is a closed-loop thermodynamic cycle, and the specific breakthrough that makes it work at aircraft scale is a proprietary high-speed condensation device developed by our engineering team. That device and the science behind it are what separate this platform from anything else currently flying.

PRODUCT 02

Large-Class High-Endurance ISR Drone

When the mission cannot wait for a recharge, you need a different kind of drone.

What It Is 

Our large-class ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) drone is built for the missions that demand sustained aerial presence, the kind that current long-endurance platforms struggle to deliver. Where conventional high-endurance UAVs are typically limited to 24 to 40 hours before requiring fuel or recharging, our platform is designed around a propulsion system with no equivalent ceiling on endurance.

It is a bigger, more powerful version of the same atmospheric energy cycle used in our small-class drone, scaled to deliver 5 to 25 kilowatts of continuous power output. More wing area means more heat exchange surface, more energy captured, and greater sustained thrust.

The Operational Difference 

For defence and security operators, the value of genuinely persistent aerial coverage is difficult to overstate. A platform that can maintain station continuously without returning to base and without a maintenance window driven by battery chemistry changes what is operationally possible. That is what this drone is designed to provide.

PRODUCT 03

Electric Propulsion System for Regional Aircraft 

The range problem for electric aviation is real. We are engineering the answer.

What It Is 

This is where our technology steps up to passenger aviation. Our regional aircraft propulsion system is designed for short-haul aircraft in the 25 to 35 metre wingspan class, broadly speaking the size of a regional turboprop or small regional jet. It provides continuous electrical power from the same atmospheric energy cycle used in our drone platforms, scaled to the power levels that passenger aviation requires.

The key thing to understand is what this means for an airline or aircraft operator: no hard range penalty compared to conventional aircraft, no need for hydrogen fuelling infrastructure, and zero direct carbon emissions during the flight. The aircraft charges its initial cryogenic load at the gate using a standard electrical connection and then generates the rest of its power from the atmosphere throughout the journey.

drone

Why This Matters 

The aviation sector is under real and growing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Battery-electric aircraft offer a partial solution for very short routes, but the physics of battery energy density means they cannot scale to useful regional aviation. Hydrogen aircraft are promising but require entirely new ground infrastructure at every airport. Sustainable aviation fuel helps but does not eliminate emissions.

Our approach sidesteps those constraints. The atmosphere is everywhere. No new infrastructure is required. In principle, the range limit is the same as any conventional aircraft, determined by the mission rather than by the energy store.

PRODUCT 04

Next-Generation Electric Space Access Vehicle 

What if a space launch vehicle could refuel itself from the air?

What It Is 

We appreciate this one takes some explaining. Our space access vehicle is a fully reusable, single-stage aircraft that takes off from a conventional commercial runway, reaches orbit, delivers its payload, and comes back to land on the same runway it departed from. Its propellant is liquid air, and it makes most of that propellant from the atmosphere during the flight itself.

The counterintuitive part is that this vehicle gets heavier during its atmospheric flight phase, not lighter. It is continuously condensing ambient air into liquid propellant as it accelerates. By the time it leaves the atmosphere, it has accumulated the fuel it needs for the orbital phase. That is what allows a single-stage vehicle to reach geostationary orbit without carrying an impractical mass of propellant at launch.

A Note on Where We Are 

This is our most ambitious programme, and we want to be clear about its current status. The integrated vehicle is at an early development stage, Technology Readiness Level 2 to 3. This means the concept is validated in physics and some subsystem technologies have been independently assessed, but full vehicle development is years away. The core condensation technology that enables this vehicle has been reviewed by Cranfield University. The 19 individual innovations integrated into the vehicle architecture are each documented to patent application standard.

We are not selling orbital launches today. We are building the technology that will make them possible, and we are looking for partners and investors who want to be part of that journey from the beginning.

What Makes This Different 

  • It does not carry most of its propellant. It makes it from the air during flight.

  • It takes off and lands on a conventional runway with no launch pad and no vertical infrastructure.

  • It is fully reusable, targeting a turnaround measured in days rather than months.

  • A projected cost to orbit that is two orders of magnitude lower than current commercial systems.

  • 275 tonnes to geostationary orbit, a payload capacity that no current launch vehicle matches.
