Maglev Aero is defining the future of electric urban air mobility – with more than 21 issued patents underpinning its proprietary Maglev HyperDrive™ aero propulsion platform and associated aircraft design.
MagLev Aero
With an engineering approach and industrial design elements that defy convention in the global aerospace industry, the company’s breakthrough technology solves critical urban eVTOL business model, practicality and deployment challenges – delivering less noise, more payload, elevated safety and the ultimate in efficiency. Its ultimate mission is to open access to the skies for everyday people, leading the way to improve everyday life in a more connected tomorrow. Based in Boston, with offices spanning both coasts in the United States and overseas, Maglev Aero’s rapid growth trajectory is fueled by support from some of the world’s most prominent technology investors and industry leaders who have endorsed its solutions.
- In rail transportation, magnetic levitation (maglev) propulsion uses electromagnets to lift the train then push and guide it along its track with no friction. MagLev Aero has adapted the principle from a linear rail to a circular rotor.
The leadership team will be headlining Paris Air Mobility
The first generation of eVTOL has achieved tremendous milestones, improving the viability of Urban Air Mobility. But the industry, to this point, has yet to solve the critical, real-world challenge of operating noise.
Unlocking the true potential of the market requires a new generation of propulsion and aircraft technology that achieves ultra-low noise operation – not just at high altitude cruise, but more importantly, in take-offs and landings to achieve acceptance from the general public, as well as widespread accessibility.
Hear from the co-founders of emerging eVTOL leader MagLev Aero on the challenges and opportunities of eVTOL acoustic management and the next breakthrough in propulsion: a platform that operates at significantly higher efficiency with lower tip speeds and blade loading to reduce noise levels in hover vs. helicopters and multi-rotor eVTOLs.
