Odys Aviation

Transition: complete. The Odys Aviation team has been heads down throughout 2024. A couple of weeks ago, at Mojave Airport in California, we achieved transition of our sub-scale aircraft. We’ve now built and flown nine aircraft prototypes over the past 24 months - seven sub-scale and two full-scale. Why? We test at full-scale on test rigs, in wind tunnels and in flight tests to validate aerodynamic models, physics, and critical performance metrics. We test at sub-scale to optimize resources - iterating 4X faster and at 1/10th the cost. This enables us to shorten our overall development timelines and be ultra capital-efficient. And this approach is building customer confidence. We have now signed over $230m in firm aircraft orders, with accompanying deposits for our aircraft. Simultaneously, we’ve deepened our relationships with the DoD and won a recent $2m contract with the US Navy.? And 2024 isn’t over yet. We look forward to sharing more updates on our partnerships and market expansion before the year is out.

We're excited to be attending the inaugural Arizona AAM Summit on 29 October hosted in partnership with the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, the Arizona Commerce Authority and the Arizona Technology Council, with a keynote from David Shilliday from our partner Honeywell Aerospace Technologies. It's an event which will bring together business leaders, innovators, policymakers and city leaders to discuss how VTOL technology will operate in Arizona. Odys Aviation's Axel Radermacher will be joining Drew Trojanowski, Dan Newman and Darin Weers to dive into the defense use case for #AAM, for those attending the event we hope you can join us.

At this year's Fiji Tourism Convention 2024, Fiji Airways CEO Andre Viljoen outlined how Odys Aviation's aircraft will enable the future of sustainable, efficient air travel in Fiji. Read more in the Fiji Times article from Elena Vucukula: https://lnkd.in/giXMC5hW

Tony Harrington's commentary here highlights how pilot programs using smaller aircraft are helping to bring #AAM to reality sooner than some might expect.

Our philosophy at Odys is to work in partnership with our customers and the regions they operate in to deliver more than just aircraft; we want to drive the transition to sustainable aviation, and to realize the benefits of a more connected ecosystem. That's why today, we're excited to announce that we've signed an agreement with Fiji Airways, Fiji's national airline, for our runway-independent hybrid VTOL cargo aircraft. Pilot programs using these aircraft are expected to start in 2025. Read more about our partnership here: https://lnkd.in/gU-nDH7S #hybridaviation #vtol #sustainability #aam

Earlier today at the Farnborough International Airshow, we announced a partnership with Honeywell Aerospace Technologies to collaborate on the development of ground control stations that will support the launch of our Laila aircraft for BVLOS operations in Oman and the Pacific. With pilot operations slated for 2025, we're excited to be working with the Honeywell team to bring hybrid-electric AAM technology to reality. #uas #aam #ram #hybridaviation #vtol https://lnkd.in/gZkXpTnk

We're thrilled to announce that we'll be working with Mwasalat Oman to develop logistics programs in the GCC using our Laila hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft. These revolutionary aircraft, designed in multiple configurations for cargo and capable of transporting payloads up to 60kg with a 400 km range, will open up previously inaccessible routes and serve to positively impact oil and gas services, security, tourism, health services and civil defense.

"Potential operators and customers are now defining missions which require much greater payloads and longer flight range than the 108nm (200km) maximum offered by most first-generation air taxis, which are largely powered by electric batteries." Read more from Tony Harrington in his article for FlightGlobal about how Odys Aviation's hybrid-electric propulsion technology will solve real consumer needs when it comes to current travel challenges, without range and payload constraints. https://lnkd.in/gBNuyM2q #hybridaviation #sustainableaviation #regionalaviation

We're looking forward to the kick off of Revolution.Aero's London conference tomorrow and sharing the stage with companies like Archer, BETA TECHNOLOGIES, Vertical Aerospace, Airbus and more to discuss the latest advancements and upcoming announcements across the #AAM space.

We're only two days away from Revolution.Aero's London Conference. If you're headed to the event and you're curious about #regionalaviation, its place in the #aam ecosystem and the key drivers of adoption, be sure to join James Dorris for an insightful discussion alongside Shashank Nigam ?, Tony Bishop, Anton Lutz and Seyed Mohseni.
