WIND TUNNEL
We then brought the aircraft into the wind tunnel. Measured data aligned closely with our simulations, confirming that the aerodynamic concept performs as intended. Just as importantly, the tests showed where further refinements could deliver additional gains. This phase exists to confirm what works, identify improvements and reduce uncertainty before moving to full scale.

SUB-SCALE MODEL
In parallel, we built a 1/5 scale model, a 4.5-meter wingspan aircraft designed to behave like the real thing, and flew it successfully. These flights were not symbolic. They delivered critical data on hydrodynamics, stability and control in real operating conditions. Each test narrowed the gap between theory and reality, strengthening the foundation for the full-scale aircraft.
ENGINEERING AND FLIGHT SIMULATOR
Validation continued beyond physical testing. Using aerodynamic data from wind tunnel campaigns and CFD analysis, our team refined the aircraft through an in-house engineering and flight simulator. The simulator allows the engineers to evaluate control and handling performance, validate analytical models and improve aircraft characteristics long before the full-scale prototype leaves the ground.
DEMAND
At the same time, the market responded. We secured more than 70 soft-orders across five continents. Operators are actively preparing for cleaner, quieter and economically viable coastal aviation. The demand is concrete and global.

PAC AGREEMENT
We also signed a Pre-Application Contract with EASA. Certification is embedded in our development from the outset. We work with regulators early because responsible aerospace programs are built in alignment, not in hindsight.
Our first formal step toward certification
By the end of 2025, we had something solid. A validated design, aerodynamic confirmation from wind tunnel testing, simulator-verified handling characteristics, flight-tested sub scale results, commercial traction and a defined regulatory path. That is what makes the next step not just ambitious, but credible.
