Breaking news: our MAG prototype is ready to fly!
Our 15-meter-long prototype wing is now assembled with its ground station.
For the past 6 months, we’ve collaborated closely with the amazing team at A-NSE to build this innovative wing, carefully designed to mirror the features of our final product. The 100μm-thick envelope is made of an assembly of special material webs (PE – Polyamide – PU multilayer). It will be filled with 38 m³ of helium to make it lighter-than-air. This unique feature is a key differentiator of our groundbreaking climate tech solution: the Magnus Airborne Generator (MAG).
The ground station — built with our partner PAILLARDET — is designed to safely and precisely pilot the wing, starting now with the test flights at Transpolis. Eight winches, each equipped with its own 2 kW generator, ensure control and power generation. The flight path is calculated in real-time by an onboard computer, while 20 kWh LFP batteries enable autonomous operations.
Additional sensors — force sensors, tether angle measurement tools, and a weather station — have also been integrated to collect extensive flight data. This data will be crucial for enhancing the reliability and performance of our future products.
