OUR STORY

Some two decades ago, the need for Cormorant was envisioned based on market demand and on addressing deficits inherent in amphibious aircraft designs. Iterative improvements made whilst listening to potential operators’ requirements evolved the concept organically to the point where, with the emergence of the energy transition making sustainable aviation a potentially realistic goal,  it was time to commence initial development.

Adaptability is central to Cormorant’s design. It easily transitions between water and land. Whether transporting passengers, carrying cargo, or facilitating urgent medical evacuations, Cormorant is ready to meet the demands of diverse applications. We have prioritized flexibility to meet the widest variety of operators’ individual needs, such that they may tailor their aircraft accordingly. Cormorant’s architecture enables alternative sustainable powertrain solutions to be incorporated within its airframe once they mature to certification and have their energy vector (i.e., fuel) supply and distribution infrastructure in place.

We believe in producing realistic deliverables over hyperbole. Our approach is based on sound research, development, and certification feasibility. This strategy should enable Cormorant to reach the market by 2028, ensuring a product that is not only groundbreaking but also provides a valuable, minimal-infrastructure addition to expand the capability and capacity of sustainable air transportation.

COLLABORATION PARTNERS

Cormorant is working with class-leading aviation partners to realize its design for a zero-emission, seven-seat, electric amphibious aircraft; we also participate within collaborative consortia, such as the Sustainable Aviation Test Environment (SATE 2) program based on the Scottish Orkney islands.

Cormorant is also actively working in partnership to explore the use of lightweight sustainable materials, such as wood, whilst conducting reverse engineering on our wooden proto-plane so as to perform land, water and aerodynamic tests.

Engaging with these proven technology partners brings us closer to a commercial solution for sustainable aviation in the shortest realistic timeframe.
