The Iron Bird:
Ground-Based HIL Simulation
The Iron Bird hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systemreplicates the full electrical, thermal, mechanical, and control interfaces of a mobility platform — enabling engineers to design, integrate, test, and refine hybrid propulsion systems in a controlled environment before any flight test.
- Modular, plug-and-play architecture
- Supports batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, and turbo generators
Flying Testbeds:
Real-World Flight Validation
The Flying Testbeds provide in-situ validation under real-world conditions — closing the gap between Iron Bird simulation and operational deployment. Initial platforms could include automated drones, fixed-wing aircraft, and eVTOL systems.
