Astro Mechanica

Astro Mechanica is a San Francisco aerospace company, founded in 2021 by Ian Brooke, reinventing supersonic flight for a new jet age. Its flagship Duality electric combined-cycle engine is engineered to stay efficient from takeoff through Mach 3+ by reconfiguring between turbofan, turbojet, and ramjet modes using a hybrid turboelectric architecture. The company designs engines, airframes, and flight systems in-house, has been selected to develop an engine for the U.S. Air Force Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program, and is backed by a16z, Lowercarbon Capital, and Y Combinator. It was added to the API Evangelist network as an a16z portfolio company.
