Polarix is developing a motor/generator/inverter technology, which combines major increase in power density with increased, reliability, efficiency and manufacturability. The Polarix Arrayed Controlled Turnless Structures (ACTS) motor will exhibit up to an order of magnitude greater power density than present technology.  It relies on the integration of arrays of low voltage independently control ...

Most VTOL aircraft in development today focus on shorter range and smaller payloads, insufficient or too expensive for regional travel. To meet this need, Craft is developing a novel VTOL aircraft focused on regional transport and wide accessibility. The

Quiet operation is a critical prerequisite for community acceptance of electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles within Urban Environments. Novel arrangements of mature propulsion systems show promise in reducing aircraft far-field noise wit

Metro Hop is building a new family of aircraft developed for Advanced Air Mobility. These winged aircraft fly fast with substantial payloads yet operate nearly silently out of small spaces. Metro Hop can achieve this because of its patent pending Active Landing Gear™. The unique landing gear means that Metro Hop aircraft can handle the vast majority of VTOL missions with superior performance. Me ...

Urban/Advanced Air Mobility (UAM/AAM) technology is advancing rapidly with over 300 designs underway.  Primary to the challenges of an electric Vertical Take Off and Landing (eVTOL) is what will happen if the vehicle suffers a failure in flight (especially in VTOL).  Establishment of a level of safety is paramount in the success or failure of the UAM market. Currently, there is not a practical r ...

The proposed project is to conduct research on a personality-matching software program that will encourage an alignment of scientific, personal, and business goals between academic professors and the execution team that is spinning out the technology. Importantly, the tool will be agnostic to industry, and will allow cross-cutting matches of entrepreneurial leaders with inventions at different un ...

Free Space Optical (FSO) communication systems provide many benefits for satellite communications, including high data rates and low Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) compared to traditional RF communication systems.Additionally, FSO systems operate without RF emissions and are inherently immune to RF interference and jamming.The narrow optical beams and small Field-of-View of the optical receivers al ...

This proposal is aimed at a new technology that would facilitate agile and affordable production of ORBs.  Specifically, work will be carried out on a new metal tooling technology for fast, cost-effective, and flexible manufacturing of composite parts.  Tooling is a critical element in the manufacturing of state-of-the-art composite structures.  High-rate composite production tools are generall ...
