Velontra ne yapar

Velontra is building a hypersonic space plane that can takeoff from anywhere in any weather. This horizontal takeoff increases launch reliability and enables customers to directly access any orbit. Our air-breathing propulsion system is up to 6 times more fuel efficient than any rocket, and uses oxygen from the air which creates thousands of pounds of additional payload capacity. We have millions in current government/commercial contracts and LOI’s. We have assembled a team of industry experts, government senior executives, and a NASA astronaut. The hypersonic space plane will work by taking off from any runway with a jet propulsion system. Next, it will climb to over 100,000’ and Mach 5. At this point, it will launch a 2nd stage rocket directly into the desired Low Earth Orbit. Velontra is “boldly going where no one has gone before.”

Hypersonic space plane launching rockets horizontally

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

We're building a hypersonic space plane that takes off from any runway in any weather. It climbs to over 100,000 feet and reaches Mach 5 using an air-breathing jet propulsion system, then launches a rocket second stage to low Earth orbit. This approach improves reliability and efficiency by using atmospheric oxygen, allowing for more payload.

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

We live in Cincinnati, OH, and the company is based there now. After YC, we expect to stay in Cincinnati.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Cincinnati is where we have access to aerospace experts, existing government contracts, and a strong engineering base. It allows us to develop hardware and flight systems with local resources efficiently.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular

Bu, Velontra şirketinin gerçek YC başvurusu mu?

Hayır. Y Combinator gönderilen başvuruları gizli tutar. Bu bir yeniden yapılandırmadır: gerçek YC form soruları, Velontra'in kamuya açık verilerinden (lansman notları, kurucu geçmişleri, ürün açıklaması) yanıtlanmıştır. Velontra gibi bir şirketin YC'ye kendisini nasıl sunacağını gösterir, gönderdikleri metni değil.
