Top Aerospace Startups in 2027

Archangel Imaging makes AI accessible in remote areas to save lives, animals and fight crimes. Our vision is to enable human + machine teaming in the real world. Our standalone cameras, with the latest on-device AI and communications technology, can detect targets and send near real-time alerts to the right people. Our software app then allows humans, AI, space assets, robots, drones and IoT sensors to work together as part of a combined team in complex missions. Together we go above and beyond to maximise the impact for our users and solve the modern world's challenging problems. We have worked on World Record projects and have developed unique machine vision payloads featured at AIConic award 2019 (winner of AI for Good category), BT Augmented Intelligence 2018 (winner), Dubai’s Robotics for Good award in 2017 (finalist) and at Innovate 2017 exhibition.

Viridian Space Corporation is building a new generation of satellites that can harvest the upper regions of the atmosphere to refuel themselves. These satellites are reusable and much more agile satisfying stringent requirements of both commercial and military customers. From its unique VLEO vantage, these satellites may provide premium Earth Observation (EO) data and broadband connectivity for government and commercial users. Advanced versions of our satellites will serve as reusable space tugs to provide in-orbit servicing, customer satellite relocation, and debris removal. Furthermore, by flying in VLEO, satellites naturally de-orbit at the end of life and leave the orbit uncluttered.

We are developing advanced technologies to dramatically increase the capabilities and lower the cost of 21st century airships. With these next-generation airships, we strive to improve humanitarian aid delivery and reduce carbon emissions, while providing economic opportunity and new jobs to Americans. LTA airships will have the ability to complement — and even speed up — humanitarian disaster response and relief efforts, especially in remote areas that cannot be easily accessed by plane and boat due to limited or destroyed infrastructure. We ultimately aim to create a family of aircraft with zero emissions that, when used for shipping goods and moving people, would substantially reduce the global carbon footprint of aviation.

Based on a heritage of defense, security and technology innovation, Kraus Aerospace is disrupting the aerial Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) space by deploying Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technology, bringing to market the most innovative, efficient and highly cost-effective 'Smart Persistent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance' (SP-ISR) as a Service. With short and efficient deployment cycles, we enable real-time persistent wide-area aerial SP-ISR solutions for the warfighter, federal and global governments, law enforcement agencies and commercial institutions - worldwide. We address the core industry problems that create overruns and abandoned ISR projects for large areas such as border and maritime patrol. We drive results with 100% visibility of an Area of Operation (AO), 100% of the time with low capital outlay.
