CoFlow Jet Aerospace

About CoFlow Jet Aerospace

We are developing ultra-high-lift, high-efficiency CoFlow Jet (CFJ) active flow control technology to transform aerospace flight across subsonic, supersonic, and hypersonic regimes, including planetary flight on Mars. This technology has been funded by NASA, DARPA, NSF, AFRL, and other U.S. government agencies, with 24 patents issued.

Licensing is one of our core revenue models, supported by strong technical services provided to our customers across a wide range of aircraft platforms. In parallel, we are developing integrated micro-compressor actuators for the aerospace industry as a new class of distributed flow-control actuators. Our next major step is the development of eVTOL drones for cargo transportation, including eVTOL platforms specifically designed for Martian flight.

Problem statement

We are addressing the following fundamental limitations that affect virtually all current aircraft:

1) limited range due to low aerodynamic efficiency;
2) small stall margins that restrict the operational flight envelope;
3) high noise;
4) long takeoff and landing distances; and
5) complex and inefficient hover–cruise transition systems for VTOL aircraft.

CoFlow Jet (CFJ) technology provides a unified solution to all of these challenges.

Traction information

We are funded by NASA to develop a Martian eVTOL aircraft, the Mars Aerial and Ground Intelligent Explorer (MAGGIE), using deflected slipstream enabled by CoFlow Jet (CFJ) technology. MAGGIE is designed to be powered by solar energy and to achieve global-range mobility over the Martian surface. It will be capable of taking off, flying, and landing virtually anywhere on Mars to support scientific exploration and future human missions. A short video describing the MAGGIE mission is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaauIJkZPy4

The same CFJ-enabled deflected-slipstream technology can be applied on Earth, with the potential to increase eVTOL range by up to 100%.
