Jaunt Air Mobility is a Dallas-based aerospace company building the all-electric Journey eVTOL, an air taxi that takes off like a helicopter and cruises like an airplane using patented Slowed Rotor Compound (SRC) technology. Founded in 2019 on intellectual property acquired from Carter Aviation, Jaunt is pursuing a certification path as a rotorcraft and is now a brand within publicly traded AIRO Group Holdings. Its aircraft carries a pilot and four passengers roughly 80-120 miles at 175 mph with low noise and an autorotation safety fallback.
Odys Aviation is a Long Beach, California deep-tech aerospace company building long-range, hybrid-electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft. Its blown-wing design lets aircraft lift off and land anywhere - no runway needed - while flying farther and carrying more than battery-only eVTOLs. With two platforms, the Laila tactical cargo drone and the larger Alta regional aircraft, Odys targets defense, logistics and passenger markets, and has amassed more than $11 billion in signed letters of intent.
