Outbound Aerospace builds rapid, scalable manufacturing for next generation aircraft.
By building new aircraft manufacturing processes, we reduce the cost to build, fly, and maintain aircraft by 50%.
We’re using smart manufacturing systems like 3D printing integrated with cloud-based design and simulation to produce carbon fiber parts 90% faster and 12x cheaper than traditional methods.
In the next 20 years, the world needs about 40,000 new aircraft and the current players can only build about 25,000. Not only is there a shortage, aircraft also cost more than ever to buy and operate.
Aviation's limiting factor is that the industry hasn't fundamentally innovated their core manufacturing processes in 60 years.
By introducing new manufacturing and borrowing development and test strategies from the rocket launch industry, Outbound is rebuilding America's aviation capability.
Proof of concept - a 20 foot wingspan drone 90% complete, flight scheduled for March.
Ongoing quarterly design reviews with customers and pilots.
Proprietary composite manufacturing processes at TRL3, ready for scale up and testing.
First aircraft product, Olympic, announced Dec 2024.
