We're driving towards a mission that is infinite in scope — to power the future — taking small steps every day. We have the added challenge of communicating our vision and what we do at the cutting edge of science and technology to a vast range of people: our team, customers, regulators, government, community, and more — the long-term vision and the short-term path. With that said, we're so proud to unveil our new brand: www.aquila.earth. It helps us communicate who we are and where we're going. The little things to the big, all in one place. As part of our launch, we've built a newsroom — www.aquila.earth/blog — and created a community updates channel. We're excited to continue building on this brand and deepening our relationship with you over time, Come on, let's soar! 🦅

Aquila was recently featured in Smart Company and then made a huge media splash for successfully trialling our Lightway wireless energy technology at the Latrobe Regional Airport Hangar. We can now transfer power at high enough levels to fly small drones indefinitely. Moreover, we conducted our flight test at 50 metres, representing a world first. All kudos to our fantastic team for this groundbreaking accomplishment — GO TEAM EAGLES! https://lnkd.in/g8rHm_ss
