Innovating like it’s 1965
The American aerospace industry used to know how to innovate.
In the 1960’s, the US created ICBMs, flew the SR-71, and sent people to the moon, all without the aid of modern computers or manufacturing methods.
In 2025, the industry has become slow, risk-averse, and ineffective, despite having computing and manufacturing resources that a 1960’s engineer couldn’t fathom.
Velontra is using rapid design-build-test cycles enabled by vertical integration and smart design to drastically shorten engine development timelines and cost. Velontra will then produce these engines at scale to drastically drive down cost.
