Our Team & Culture

Developing culture through technological advancement.

Conscious Aerospace can be described as a down-to-earth aviation idealist. Our goal is to make near zero-emission air travel possible and even profitable. While we’ll never lose sight of our goal, we know the work is hard and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We love a challenge, and we’re keenly aware that our mission is a marathon, not a sprint. This makes us committed, highly capable, and professional.

We don’t believe in shouting our accomplishments from any rooftops. No BS, no fluff, no bragging, just getting the work done and having the results speak for themselves. We’re a team of hard-working, quirky, open-minded people. Hierarchy stands in the way of innovation, so we make sure every voice is heard.
