PteroDynamics Inc. designs superior autonomous vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft systems that fly faster and go farther to reach remote locations without runways, even in harsh conditions. PteroDynamics’ Transwing® aircraft is unlike any other VTOL system, performing like a great fixed-wing aircraft with superb VTOL capabilities. Transwing aircraft unfold their wings to transition smoothly and quickly between vertical and horizontal flight, overcoming limitations inherent in other VTOL designs by combining the speed, range, and endurance of fixed-wing aircraft with superior VTOL performance in an efficient, highly automated platform. The Transwing is ideal for automating time-sensitive delivery of critical high-value payloads to-hard-to-reach locations, including maritime logistics support, payload delivery to remote locations without airstrips, and reconnaissance and surveillance. Seeing is believing. Visit PteroDynamics.com for details and videos.

We make advanced, ultra-miniaturized, highly integrated fluidic products that currently don’t exist. Xidas provides next generation small volume fluidics solutions for medical, biotech, and industrial IoT applications. Xidas leverages its unique multi-patented miniaturization paradigm that combines manufacturing technologies, design methodologies, and diverse materials processing called Amalga™ to produce micro-scale solutions for industrial, life-tech and IoT applications that were once impossible.

FastDetect is a developer of diagnostic equipment designed for quick and effective testing of COVID-19, in addition to other pathogens, ailments, etc. Our testing systems are uniquely designed for testing multiple people simultaneously, providing the test results within minutes, and allowing people to swiftly determine whether they are infected — and if so, by what pathogen specifically. By leveraging the experience and knowledge gained during the Ebola crisis, the team at FastDetect built a COVID-19 test that would be rapid, conducted on-site, and produce very highly accurate results. Our efforts germinated the FastDetect SmartTest that includes 15 issued and filed patents. We did not stop there. We are now working on newer and better versions of our technology to handle additional pathogens. We will not stop until the diagnostic revolution is upon us. Point of care everywhere. The team at FastDetect is a tightly knit group of Caltech scientists, JPL engineers, and business leaders — but at heart, we are dreamers, envisioning how to alleviate pain and improve our world through innovation, hard work, and clear focus.
