What if … you had a new propulsion technology that even at small thrust class could achieve an efficiency of >90%? And what if you realized that for the same total amount of power required, using 22 small electric motors is 4.7x lighter than using 1 big electric motor? And what if you realized that by using many small electric motors, the cube-square law made thermal cooling become a simple passive solution, instead of requiring complex active liquid cooling systems to remove the low grade heat of one big electric motor? How would you design an aircraft to leverage such radical changes to how propulsion systems scale? How would aircraft capabilities change as propulsion, aerodynamics, and acoustics were all combined into a single unified highly integrated solution?

Theme: Stories That Inspire
Start-up companies play a unique “enabler” role to vet novel research ideas and results in commercial applications and markets but are a currently untapped resource for the AIAA community. In this session, representatives from start-up materials companies will present their products, operations, and vision for future directions to enlighten and encourage the audience about potential future collaboration.
Start-up companies:
Janson Husk, Mosaic Materials — More Information
Emily Parisi, Parisi Tech — More Information
Evgenia Pekarskaya, Supercool Metals
Dan Xiang, X-Wave Innovations — More Information
Funding expertise:
Kookai Chaimahawong, Pangaea Ventures
Mark Rowland, AFWERX
Brett Jones, VU Venture Partners
