Leviathan Air

Overview

Problem

Attrition of distance. Transporting missions specific payloads and cargo long distances over oceans is a massive challenge, especially if needed to be done fast.

Solution

We are building remote operated semi-autonomous Ground Effect Vehicles (GEVs) to provide long range high-speed transport of equipment and cargo across oceans while being able to takeoff and land on the water.

Field Validation

Pre-field

Technology Maturity (TRL)

TRL 4 - Building our first flying prototype

Strategic Advantage

We are building large size, complex to design, flying machines used in a marine environment. Everything about what we are doing is hard and expensive. Us being one of the first players in this space will give us a massive head start in the long run.

Go-to-Market Access

SBIR/STTRs to start followed by pursuing DIU and direct contracts with Navy, Marines, and SOCOM.

Dual-Use Potential [Where does this extend commercially? Highlight urgent markets: energy, logistics, AI safety, etc.]

Interisland cargo transport and carrying inspection drones to offshore installations like wind turbines and oil & gas. Larger versions long term can do transoceanic heavy cargo transport.

Competitive Landscape

Regent & Poseidon Aerospace Primary User

Navy, Marines, and SOCOM using our GEVs for ISR, ASW, E Warfare, Tactical Resupply, & CUAS.

User-Critical Problem

Commanders can send GEVs to patrol dangerous remote areas areas with no risk to pilots. Special Forces in need of resupply will be able to have 1000lbs of equipment delivered to remote islands at aircraft speeds.
