DBT Aero, headquartered in Salt Lake City, UT with a development center in Kalispell, MT, is redefining aircraft design with its innovative focus on fuel efficiency, speed, and operational economics. Formed in 2019, the company aims to revolutionize air travel through its ultra-efficient aircraft designs and advanced integrated drag reduction technologies.
The company, building on the pioneering work of Synergy Aircraft, has developed multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), ranging from a five-foot wingspan autonomous testbed to a high payload, long range 11-foot wingspan UAV. Currently, DBT Aero is on the cusp of full envelope flight testing with its manned “Synergy Prime” proof of concept, which promises to tackle the challenges hindering profitable, carbon-free or carbon-neutral regional air transportation.
Its mission is clear: to make fast, 100% sustainable flight both affordable and quiet, leveraging key industries such as manufacturing, space, and energy efficiency. The startup's last funding round was a $1.84M Pre Seed investment on 07 June 2019.
