WiN MS
Founder Arnaud Peltier, Marc Olivas
Category
Location Orsay, France
Product

WinMS develops diagnostic tools for monitoring and troubleshooting complex wired infrastructures. The system reduces downtime and diagnostic errors while improving maintenance productivity by 5x.

WinMS modules use multi carrier time domain reflectometry (MCTDR) to locate permanent or intermittent electrical faults on all cables including live wires. Their module includes a connection kit that fits to any cable in any aircraft and connects wirelessly to a tablet for immediate diagnostics.

Natilus
Founder Aleksey Matyushev, Anatoly Starikov, LZ Zhang
Category
Location Richmond, CA
Product

Natilus is building and operating an amphibious freight drone capable of transporting goods worldwide at 50% the cost of traditional air-shipping methods. The Natilus amphibious drone has a blended wing body capable of carrying up to 100 tons and operates routes up to 30 hours at just below transonic speeds. Natilus is fully autonomous and doesn’t require a cockpit or heavy and complex life control systems such as pressurization and emergency escape routes. These simplifications reduce estimated manufacturing costs from $250MM for a Boeing 777 down to $50MM for a Natilus.

Launcher
Founder Max Haot
Category Space
Location Brooklyn, NY
Product

Launcher is developing a high-performance small satellite launcher with a metal 3D printed engine. Due to Launcher’s additive manufacturing methods, the engine has the largest thrust and lowest cost per pound of thrust in the small satellite launcher class, giving customers the flexibility to dictate scheduling and orbit at a low cost.

Airfree
Founder Etienne de Verdelhan, Valéry Méary, Agnès Debains
Category Aviation
Location Paris, France
Product

Marketplace connecting travellers to duty-free retailers and travel-related service providers. Customers can browse and securely purchase products on their personal device using inflight

Wi-Fi, even with minimal satellite bandwidth.  Airfree removes the need for having products onboard and can be easily integrated with the systems of retailers, thus allowing for selling a wider range of products than classic inflight retail.
