Cosa fa Icarus

Always-on intelligence and connectivity for Defense. Icarus builds autonomous, solar-powered aircraft that fly at 60,000 feet for weeks at a time, above the clouds harnessing the power of the Sun, but never too close. It’s the modern-day U-2 spy plane, except each costs $100K and is built by the thousands. The future of warfare is in the Stratosphere.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Stratospheric birds for defense

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We make autonomous, solar-powered aircraft that fly at 60,000 feet for weeks to provide persistent intelligence and connectivity for defense. Our planes operate above the clouds, harvesting solar energy to stay aloft for extended missions at a fraction of the cost of traditional spy planes.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are based in Los Angeles, CA, and intend to stay here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Los Angeles has a strong aerospace ecosystem and talent pool, which is critical for building complex hardware like stratospheric drones. It also suits the defense focus of our products.
