About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $749,956 firm fixed-price contract to Empirical Systems Aerospace Inc. (doing business as Esaero) for development of an electrified rotor head for advanced vertical flight under the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II program. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, was awarded on March 11, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of November 15, 2024, and will be performed in San Luis Obispo, California. Esaero, a small aerospace engineering and manufacturing company specializing in advanced electric and hybrid propulsion technologies, was selected to advance this critical technology for rotorcraft applications.
This award reflects the Air Force Research Laboratory's strategic investment in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) technologies and advanced propulsion systems. The STTR Phase II designation indicates the project has already demonstrated technical feasibility in an initial phase and is now progressing toward further development and commercialization. Esaero's selection is consistent with the company's established expertise in electric propulsion systems and its successful track record of federal research contracts with defense and civilian space agencies, positioning the contractor to deliver innovative solutions in electrified rotor technology for future vertical flight platforms.
