Kite Magnetics

ACCELERATING GREEN AVIATION WITH
ULTRA-QUIET, HIGH-PERFORMANCE
NANOCRYSTALLINE ELECTRIC MOTORS

Global aviation, which accounted for 2.5% of all CO₂ emissions in 2018 and faced a fuel bill estimated at £188 billion in 2019, along with affecting millions globally through noise pollution, is poised for transformation. Spearheading efforts towards a greener, more cost effective, quieter, and efficient future in aviation and transport, Kite Magnetics is developing ground-breaking electric motor technology—AeropermTM.

AeropermTM is a novel nanocrystalline magnetic material made with advanced manufacturing methods. This innovation allows electric motors and generators to be significantly lighter and more efficient, featuring an energy loss ten times smaller than that of materials used in conventional electric motors.

In response to the global push towards more sustainable energy practices, Kite Magnetics is fundamentally re-engineering electric motors. As funding opportunities continue to rise, the company is preparing for significant advancements in the coming years, but with their quiet, lightweight motors, you might not even hear them coming.
