SERVICES
Proposed development programs, not commercial services available for purchase.
Landing Guidance and Control
Objective
A proposed ground-based landing pathfinder.
Planned approach
Model and simulate, simulated thrust, constrained powered motion, multi-axis demonstrations, instrumentation and sensor fusion.
Intended evidence
A repeatable, instrumented landing-control demonstration with a traceable dataset for hover, orientation, translation, disturbance recovery and touchdown.
Next gate
Repeatability campaign and seed-readiness review.
Current status: to be confirmed.
Methalox Full-Flow Engine
Objective
Develop a methalox full-flow staged-combustion engine.
Planned approach
Cycle modelling, materials and cooling, turbomachinery, integrated hot-fire testing, flight article. Targets: ~150-tonne-class thrust and ~200 bar chamber pressure. These are engineering targets, not demonstrated performance.
Intended evidence
Component and subsystem test evidence, then flight data.
Next gate
Mobilised after the seed round.
Current status: to be confirmed.
Industrial Capability Strategy
Objective
Pursue engineering and manufacturing businesses that may add equipment, facilities, specialist teams, manufacturing and software capability, and recurring cash flow.
Planned approach
Capability thesis, ring-fenced diligence, board approval.
Intended evidence
Industrial capability that strengthens the aerospace roadmap.
Next gate
Funded only after core capability is established.
Current status: to be confirmed.
Recursive Reaction Drive Research
Objective
Hypothesis: can recursive gas coupling produce a measurable propulsion advantage after every input and loss is counted?
Planned approach
Measure impulse, propellant, energy, heat, parasitic power, mass, stability and repeatability. Compare against a conventional baseline. Decide: validate, find a partial mechanism, or disprove. The concept is not claimed to work.
Intended evidence
Complete balances and a clear pass/fail result.
Next gate
Potential acquisition objectives only; not existing assets or completed acquisitions.
Current status: to be confirmed.
