Founded in 2016, Wright’s goal is to decarbonize the aerospace industry. - For example, Wright recently tested its industry-leading electric motor to over 1 megawatt and is planning for altitude testing at the NASA Electric Aircraft Testbed (NEAT) .
- Through rigorous testing and analysis at the WEAETC, Wright aims to validate the thermal and dynamic stability of Wright's Electric Propulsion Unit (EPU), which is notably quieter than conventional engines.
