PropWings™ Next-Gen Performance for eVTOL Platforms

What problem does PropWings solve?

The commercial viability of electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft is severely bottlenecked by battery energy density limitations. Compounding this is a critical aerodynamic "dead zone" during the transition between vertical hover and forward flight, where conventional fixed wings remain aerodynamically inert until forward momentum is achieved.

Dynamic Structural Impact Localization System

As human activity expands toward permanently occupied orbital stations, lunar habitats, Mars transit vehicles, and deep-space platforms, structural health awareness will become increasingly critical. Future spacecraft and habitats will be larger, more complex, and harder to inspect manually than current vehicles. Micrometeoroid strikes, orbital debris impacts, tool strikes, pressure-vessel anomalies,

Benchtop Accuracy Tweezer LCR Meter for Mission Critical Aerospace & Defense MRO

The LCR Reader MPB from Siborg Systems Inc. is a 36 g tweezers style LCR/multimeter that brings benchtop grade measurement performance into aerospace and defense maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO). It closes the gap between large, expensive benchtop LCR meters and traditional handheld instruments that lack the precision, frequency range, connectivity, and calibration traceability required for mission critical electronics.

LunaSonar: Acoustic Spread-Spectrum Positioning, Navigation, Timing, and Command System for UAV Swarms

Problem

Modern unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations depend heavily on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and radio-frequency (RF) communications for positioning, timing, synchronization, and command dissemination. In military operations, underground facilities, tunnels, industrial plants, warehouses, and disaster-response environments, these signals may be unavailable, intentionally jammed, or restricted,
