Developing electric aircraft (ALIA eVTOL and fixed-wing eCTOL) plus charging infrastructure for cargo, medical and military use.
Revenue so far is small and comes from charging equipment, electric propulsion units and development work rather than from aircraft deliveries, which wait on FAA type certification. The company is based in Vermont.
Moat: narrow (IP / patents, regulatory licence). Early FAA certification progress and a proprietary charging network are hard to replicate quickly.
