New And Improved AeroDeflect

How Our Solution Evolved

Last year, our concept focused on installing sensors directly onto aircraft. These included corrosion, temperature, UV, and piezoelectric sensors designed to monitor metal fatigue, pressure changes, and surface wear in real time. The data was transmitted through radio frequency to an onboard control box, enabling predictive maintenance. Our target customers were aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus, integrating the system during production.
While effective in theory, this approach faced major challenges: including installation complexity, high costs, regulatory barriers, and strict FAA restrictions around onboard modifications and radio-frequency communication.

Introducing AeroDeflect: A Non-Invasive, Runway-Based System

Instead of modifying aircraft, AeroDeflect uses LiDAR, high-speed cameras, and motion sensors embedded in or around the runway to measure wing deflection, landing forces, and impact stress for every arriving aircraft. This runway-based approach is completely non-invasive, eliminating the need for FAA certification or aircraft retrofitting. It also allows for rapid deployment, easier scaling, and seamless integration at airports worldwide.

A New Business Model

With the updated system, our target market has expanded. Rather than selling hardware to manufacturers, we now partner with airports to install AeroDeflect and deliver landing analytics data to airlines through a subscription-based platform.
Airlines receive real-time structural stress insights without altering their fleets, improving maintenance accuracy and operational safety. Airports benefit from hosting cutting-edge technology that enhances safety, efficiency, and value for their airline partners.
