Supersonics for the new Jet Age
Backed by Y Combinator · Neo
Astro Mechanica is reinventing supersonic aircraft by innovating on engine, airframe, and systems that industry hasn’t in over 50 years. Our electric combined cycle engine, Duality, is the world’s first jet engine that's engineered for efficiency from takeoff to Mach 3+. This new propulsion technology enables the delivery of people and payloads anywhere on Earth in just hours, laying the foundation for a new operational paradigm: an affordable point-to-point global travel network that will make on-demand, high-speed air transport the new standard of travel.
Astro Mechanica is developing next-generation aerospace technology, focusing on engines, airframes, and flight systems designed for an efficiency-first approach across subsonic and supersonic speeds. They position themselves as engineers of the world’s first jet engine optimized for efficiency in multiple flight regimes.
The company designs and builds propulsion and airframe components aimed at efficiency across subsonic and supersonic speeds, including jet engines, airframes, and integrated flight systems intended for the new age of aerospace.
Who it’s for: Aerospace manufacturers, airlines, and defense contractors seeking efficient propulsion and airframe solutions for subsonic and supersonic flight regimes.

Accelerating access toward space and across the planet, enabled by the world’s first electric adaptive jet engine.
Astro Mechanica introduces the Electric Adaptive Engine, a jet engine designed to be efficient across speed regimes using electric motors to drive the compressor. The launch outlines plans to apply it to space launch, private flight, and potential supersonic travel, with a roadmap to demonstrate a flight engine in 2025 and pursue cheaper, faster payload delivery and air travel.
