Making the Electrification of Air Travel Possible

Combining novel nanocrystalline magnetic materials with advanced manufacturing methods to produce the world’s highest performance electric motors.

Kite Magnetics is an Australian-based aerospace start-up enabling emissions-free aircraft to fly further and carry more by producing the next generation of ultra-high-performance electric motors. Spun out from Monash University in 2022 and backed by Investible, Possible Ventures and Breakthrough Victoria, Kite’s products use a new nanocrystalline magnetic materials technology that has an energy loss ten times lower than traditional materials, giving their electric motors unmatched efficiency and power density potential. Their first product, a 120 kW electric motor for 2-4 seat electric training aircraft, marks the beginning of their journey to become a global leader in zero emissions aircraft engine production.
