Cheating Gravity.

Conventional drones fight gravity with horsepower. We use physics.
Meet the hybrid architecture that makes long-endurance flight efficient, safe, and scalable.

STATIC LIFT+DYNAMIC GLIDE=6H ENDURANCE
The Hybrid Advantage

Static Lift + Dynamic Glide.

The end of "Battery Anxiety".

Every flying object has to pay a "gravity tax" Multicopters pay it with massive energy consumption just to hover. Airplanes pay it with high minimum speeds.

Our approach is different:

By using a helium-filled envelope for static lift, we neutralize a significant portion of the aircraft's weight. The wings provide the rest through dynamic lift.

The Result: We use energy primarily for moving forward, not for staying airborne. This drastically extends flight times without needing heavy, dangerous battery packs.

Energy to sustain flight (W/kg)

Multicopter150 – 200 W/kg
Like treading water. Exhausting, non-stop.
Fixed-Wing30 – 50 W/kg
Like cycling. Efficient, but you can't stop.
Levitate TENEO | E10 – 20 W/kg
Like e-biking downhill. Just steer and glide.
Energy required to sustain flight. Lower = longer endurance.
Intrinsic Safety

Safety baked into the physics.

It doesn't fall. It glides.”

Buoyant Architecture

Safety systems shouldn't be an afterthought or a parachute that might fail. They should be part of the design. Because of our buoyant architecture, a total power failure doesn't result in a catastrophic crash. The platform retains its lift, transitioning into a gentle, controllable descent.

Safe for Critical Infrastructure

Ideal for flying over sensitive assets — rail lines, power grids, pipelines — where a heavy crash is simply not an option. Our platform is designed from the ground up to operate safely over the infrastructure you depend on.

Operations

Scalability by Design.

We don't sell hardware; we provide availability.

150 KM
100 KM

Instead of shipping drones to customers or driving vans across the country for every job, we operate from regional hubs.

Because of the TENEO | E 's exceptional range, a single Levitate Hub covers an operational radius of 100 to 150 km.

Centralized Fleet

We maintain, update, and operate the fleet.

Rapid Response

Strategic hubs cover vast networks with minimal lead time.

The Business Model

Data-as-a-Service.

We own the fleet. You own the insights.

The industry is tired of buying hardware that is obsolete in 12 months. With Levitate, there is no CAPEX risk, no pilot licensing, and no depreciation on your books. You simply define the corridor or area of interest, and we deliver standardized, high-quality data.

Sensor Agnostic

Our modular payload bay adapts to your specific data needs — from LiDAR for terrain mapping to high-res thermal for inspection. One platform, infinite configurations.

Recurring Value

Consistent data capture allows for true historical comparison and predictive maintenance over years. Your data gets more valuable with every mission.

No CAPEX
No Pilot License
No Depreciation
Development Status

We are currently finalizing the Teneo | E pre-series model.
