The lightest electric aircraft motors in the world.
At H3X, we are making the lightest, high-power electric propulsion systems in the world to enable a large-scale revolution in aircraft electrification. Our first product is a 250-kW (335 HP) integrated motor drive in an 18 kg package. It combines the electric motor, inverter, and gearbox into a single powerful unit and is the culmination of patent pending innovation in multiple areas.
H3X Technologies designs and manufactures high power-dense integrated motor drives (IMDs) for aerospace, defense, marine, and heavy industry, offering motors and generators with integrated inverters. Their products emphasize power density, scalable core technology, and flexibility for weight- and space-constrained, high-power applications. The company positions itself as USA-made with a focus on rapid innovation.
H3X produces integrated motor drives (IMDs) ranging from 30 kW to 1 MW+ with co-optimized inverters. Their IMDs can operate as either motors or generators and are designed for high power density (up to 12 kW/kg continuous). The product line includes models such as HPDM-30, HPDM-90S, HPDM-140, HPDM-180, HPDM-350, HPDM-500, and HPDG-30 (Genset) for hybrid/dual-use applications. The technology is described as scalable from 30 kW to 30 MW, enabling applications across aerospace, defense, marine, and heavy industry, with a focus on integrated electrical propulsion and power systems.
Who it’s for: Aerospace, defense, marine, and heavy industry OEMs needing high-power, weight-critical electric propulsion and hybrid power solutions.

I am responsible for all operations and mechanical design at H3X. In prior roles, I have led projects developing control systems for electric and hybrid powertrain systems from the ground up. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering from University of Wisconsin-Madison. I come from a proud heritage of craftsmen – from butchers and bakers to electricians and steamfitters. This unique background has enabled me to bridge the gap between advanced engineering theory to practical and scalable solutions.
Co-founder & CEO of H3X Technologies. Ex- Specter, Tesla, MTS. MS and BS in Electrical Engineering from University of Wisconsin-Madison. Built electric racecars in college (FSAE).
