Strategic Innovation Focuses
Rapid Airframes
Angels Aircraft is revolutionizing composite production for aerospace structures by cutting fabrication and assembly times, minimizing labor, reducing raw material costs, enabling dual sourcing, and improving assembly methods. Our goal is to achieve automotive-like speeds while maintaining weight efficiency. We're working towards manufacturing large composite parts in minutes, rather than hours or days.
Artificial Intelligence
We are spearheading the integration of AI-driven operations to achieve full navigational autonomy, dynamic mission planning, collaborative decision-making, and seamless data processing within UAS. By minimizing human intervention, we are enhancing operational efficiency, reliability, and the overall autonomy of unmanned aircraft systems
Avionics Architecture
We are optimizing the avionics architecture by streamlining its complexity, developing a modular, product-agnostic computing framework with integrated redundancy, and reducing overall system weight. Our objective is to design a highly adaptable, fault-tolerant avionics and flight control system, capable of supporting edge computing, enabling autonomous operations, facilitating multi-platform interoperability, and delivering performance akin to modern smartphone technologies.
We are designing and seeking support to develop a modular spiral development UAS platform that enables the testing and optimization of UAV capabilities. The platform is engineered to support a broad array of configurations and architectures, including structure, avionics, propulsion, mission systems, and munition systems. As a Type IV/V UAS vehicle, it focuses on creating manufacturable, mission-optimized products while maintaining cost efficiency, ensuring that inefficiencies are not passed onto customer programs. This approach accelerates development cycles and lowers costs for our customers.

Attritable Propulsion
We are developing a high-performance class of engine systems that are manufacturable, easily swappable, and designed for streamlined maintenance and overhaul. Our focus is on extending flight life, reducing complex engineering components, and ensuring cost-effectiveness. This initiative specifically targets the high costs and long lead times of current aircraft propulsion systems to meet the production rates required for UAS.
Automated Ground Operations
We are automating routine, recurring ground-based tasks that facilitate aircraft operations, ensuring these processes are both reliable and robust. This innovation reduces support hours per flight hour to just 20% of what is required by current programs. Additionally, we are enabling full autonomy in Ground Support Operations, allowing for continuous, uninterrupted operations lasting a week or more without boots on the ground.
