Mako is on track to deliver the world's first all-electric jet engine, the Forerunner. Here, Mako’s team assemble the first stage fan, a key component producing the 96kN of thrust generated by the engine. The thrust of an A320 engine, from a motor the size of a birthday cake!🎂

We're honored to be part of Boost VC Demo Day and announce we sponsored Mako Aerospace, in stealth no more! Investors, RSVP below to hear more about this UK-based team out of Rolls Royce and Airbus building electric engines for turbofans and turboprops. #electricflight

I've said it before but Adam is SO generous. He invited some of his favorite deep tech co-investors to sponsor portfolio companies to present at Boost VC demo day with no ask whatsoever! We also get to unveil our sponsored startup, Mako Aerospace! Investors, sign up below...

Fun fact: We found Radiant through Boost demo day, so you may want to check them out. Might even find a super cool company in the Cantos portfolio that's electrifying flight⚡✈️ *cough cough* Mako Aerospace

Though electrification isn't the solution to decarbonizing everything—it is for many things, especially in transportation. So we welcome the Electrification of Things (EoT) w/ Mako Aerospace—our bet on aviation✈️⚡ medium.com/cantos-venture…

There’s nothing I love more in this job than being the first “yes” a founder has heard. We had the chance to be that for Pia and Kieran at Mako Aerospace last year. Just the first of many, I suspect! 🔋✈️ medium.com/cantos-venture…

Today Mako took delivery of the Harrier Jump Jet turbine that will form the fan of the world's first all-electric jet engine. The Pegasus defined British performance in aviation 🇬🇧 Today, the very same engine will pioneer electric flight and drive our sustainable future.

Last month the Mako team went on-tour, attending industry forums around the world 🌎. Our goal was to dedicate time to learn what it means to build game changing propulsion. Thanks to everyone who shared their insight with the team. Time to build! ✈️🔨

The latest Catalyst w/ Shayle Kann has me even more convinced that hydrogen won’t play a role in commercial aviation. It’s a mix of SAF (Twelve | A world made from air™) & battery-electric (Mako Aerospace) or bust. Maaaaybe micro-reactors one day (e.g. Avalanche Energy Radiant). canarymedia.com/podcasts/catal…

This week the Mako team demonstrated our testbed up to 1% of the Forerunner engine's total power. Tests like these allow the team to accelerate engineering and swap-in full-scale components of Mako's game-changing propulsion systems for electric aircraft. #electricaircraft

Did you know, the world’s first all-electric jet engine is set to be made right here in Scotland? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Not only will Mako Aerospace's engine be lighter and more efficient that traditional aircraft ones, it could also cut fuel costs by 70% 🤩 #ScotlandIsNow ow.ly/BxvK50KyxXl

This week I learned about how Mako Aerospace is tapping superconductor technology in its run-up to a quantum leap in electric propulsion for aircraft. More details about its Forerunner ducted fan systems for regional airliners are expected next month: futureflight.aero/news-article/2…
