Aerospace & Defense

The rapid emergence of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, autonomous air taxis, delivery drones, and advanced unmanned aerial systems is transforming the future of transportation. However, one critical safety challenge remains unresolved: the absence of a reliable last-resort recovery system capable of protecting passengers, payloads, and critical assets during catastrophic failures.

Wildlife strikes cause billions of dollars in aircraft damage, flight delays, and safety risks every year. Existing airport wildlife management systems are largely reactive, responding only after birds or animals have already entered operational areas. As global air traffic continues to grow, airports require a smarter and more proactive solution.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become indispensable tools in defense, disaster response, infrastructure inspection, agriculture, logistics, and environmental monitoring. Despite their growing adoption, one of the major limitations of current UAV systems is their vulnerability to crash-induced structural damage. Hard landings, collisions with obstacles, and repeated operational impacts can cause cracks, delamination, fiber breakage,

This is an innovative hybrid aerial–underwater rescue drone designed to emergency response in flood-prone and aquatic disaster environments. The system combines the capabilities of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) into a single intelligent platform, enabling seamless operation above and below water surfaces.

Natural disasters such as floods, cyclones, river accidents,

The AB-U10 is an autonomous airborne counter-UAS (C-UAS) interceptor powered by Electric Ducted Fan (EDF) vectored thrust technology. Unlike ground-based jammers, nets, or kinetic effectors, the AB-U10 launches vertically without a runway or catapult, climbs to intercept altitude within seconds,

The Portable Intermittent Fault Detector (PIFD) product family is an advanced prognostic and diagnostic tool that is purpose-built to supplement traditional test equipment and address the decades-old issue of intermittent failures that drive No Fault Found (NFF) test results.

Space habitats today rely on separate subsystems for structure, thermal control, radiation protection, sensing, and communication. CIMx Building Blocks introduces a coherence‑regulated material envelope that unifies these functions into a single intelligent shell. The envelope becomes both the structural boundary and a distributed computational and modulation substrate, enabling new modes of habitat control, energy use,

Flexible Thread Technology (FFS) was invented by Robert Fullerton in 1979 and has 6 U.S. patents granted and 4 new, “Automatically Mechanically Locking Fastener/Coupler” provisional patents proposed in his name at this time. The concept utilizes an outer body containing three threaded fasteners.

Commercial aviation accounts for 2.5% of global CO₂ emissions, with aerodynamic drag representing the single largest efficiency loss factor beyond engine thermodynamics. Conventional wing designs use discrete hinged flaps and slats, mechanically complex, hydraulically driven systems that optimize the wing for only two conditions: takeoff/landing and cruise. For all other flight phases, climb, descent, turbulence response, gust loading,

What problem does the innovation solve?

Rear-mounted pusher-propeller aircraft typically suffer from a severe reduction in control authority at low airspeeds (such as during low-speed STOL operations or VTOL transition phases) because traditional tail surfaces rely on forward velocity to generate aerodynamic force. Mechanically, rear-propulsion architectures introduce massive Center of Gravity (CG) challenges;
