Turn Engine Failure
Into Safe Landing

Engine failure represents the biggest uncontrollable risk to piston aircraft.
Impossible turns, VMC spins, and obstacle collisions have claimed many lives.

We can do better.

The Mission

Our mission is to develop backup electric propulsion to enable continued flight after engine failure.

Whether it's continuing takeoff to return to the field, or having minutes rather than seconds to find a safe landing area en-route, engine redundancy isn't just for twins anymore.

The Concept

System Diagram

The concept is simple: equip an electric motor between the engine and propeller that can take over in the event of engine failure. This is supported by a battery with enough energy for takeoff and a few minutes of flight.

While current battery energy density limits all-electric flight, this emergency capability was successfully demonstrated in 2014. Significant advances in battery and motor technology since then make this all the more achievable.
