Exciting Partnerships Announced Since Suppliers Day

Since our Suppliers Day, we've been on an incredible journey, coming closer to our mission to decarbonize aviation. Along the way, we've teamed up with some of the brightest minds and most innovative companies in the industry. These partnerships are the backbone of our ATEA prototype, each one playing a crucial role in bringing our vision of a cleaner, more sustainable future in aviation to life.

First, we joined forces with ANDAR Electromechanical Systems, a leader in aerospace technology. Their primary actuation systems are set to deliver the high performance and reliability we need.

Next, we partnered with S-PLANE, experts in automation and control solutions. They're equipping ATEA with the "X-CUBE" Flight Computer, a compact powerhouse that will ensure our systems run smoothly.

McLaren Applied is also on board, providing their cutting-edge "IPG5" Silicon Carbide Inverter. This advanced technology is key to accelerating the development of our hybrid-electric systems.

Crouzet, with their deep expertise in pilot control interfaces, is another essential partner. They're supplying the control sticks that will enhance both safety and reliability.

AMPHENOL SEFEE, known for their premium embedded electronics, is helping us optimize energy management and efficiency with a high-voltage power distribution unit and the manufacturing of our patented Hybrid Core.

SPHEREA, a trusted name in the aerospace industry for over 50 years, is providing the Avionics & Flight Control system integration bench for ATEA. Their U-TEST simulation software will play a pivotal role in securing our avionic systems.

DUC Hélices is supplying the propeller and fan blades, vital components for ATEA's innovative lift & cruise architecture, ensuring efficient propulsion during Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) and transitions.

We're also working closely with HENSOLDT NEXEYA France, who are providing crucial parts of the flight test instrumentation system. Their advanced electronics and software tools are invaluable for monitoring and communication during our ground and flight tests.

Finally, Vibratech, with their decades of experience in vibration analysis, is bringing the AIRVIB system to the table, ensuring both safety and performance in flight.

These partnerships are more than just collaborations, they represent our shared commitment to a new era of sustainable aviation. And while we’re excited about what we've accomplished so far, we can't wait to share an even bigger announcement with you early fall. Stay tuned, something big is on the horizon.
