Flight 2.0
For decades, aviation has remained stagnant - where are the flying cars!? A few barriers have stood in the way.
Risk - Significant innovation requires development risk - unacceptable in commercial aviation where failure leads to catastrophe.
Technology - Supporting technologies - including optimized AI compute, high-bandwidth global communication, low cost sensors, improved batteries and manufacturing methods - were not available.
Consolidation - Two manufacturers control over 90% of the market - lack incentive to innovate.
Given the constraints of Flight 1.0 - including pilots, airports, and fossil fuels, it was difficult for new entrants to develop a significantly better product. Recently, the maturation of various technologies has provided the necessary ingredients to pioneer the next generation of powered flight.
Electric propulsion, autonomous piloting, and airport-less access form the foundation of Flight 2.0.
AI Robotics
We've entered an unprecedented technological arms race. Exponential digital intelligence capable of manipulating advanced electro-mechanical systems in the physical world will have a profound impact on modern civilization.
Significant involvement in this competition is imperative for long term economic strength, technological sovereignty, and societal resilience.
Autonomous airborne robotics provides a strategic forcing function for the development for real-world AI and advanced robotics - requiring vast amounts of diverse terrain for flight AI training data, abundant compute, and world class engineering talent.
Sustainable Abundance
Legacy systems are increasingly vulnerable, unsustainable, and in a state of regression. Halo represents an ambitious technological development campaign against entropy.
AI robotics will breathe new life into an ossified aviation industry. Success will not only provide solutions to problems once though impossible, such as wildfires - but expand access to the skies and usher in the era of sustainable flight.
We're bringing this to life through first principles innovation, hardcore engineering, and a relentless motivation to build a sustainable, abundant, and inspiring future.
