The Conscious Aerospace mission
A century ago, people looked up in awe every time a plane took to the skies. All thanks to pioneers who dared to go further.
The next hundred years of aviation will be shaped by hydrogen-powered flight. To get there, we need the same kind of courage, imagination, and determination that made flying possible in the first place.
At Conscious Aerospace, we’re not just making near-zero-emission flight possible. We’re here to make it profitable, completely reimagining aviation.
How we’re getting there? Hard work, commitment, and a love for solving complex problems with an engineering mindset. Ready to join our team of pioneers?
