We’re developing hydrogen-combustion turbofans with compressed gaseous H₂ (350–700 bar)—no cryogenics—then scaling to mid–long range passenger aircraft. Certification and safety from day one.
Engines-first hydrogen program with exportable certification evidence
Near-term value comes from pressurized hot-fire results (NOx & stability maps), flashback-safe mixing, and certifiable high-pressure storage & delivery. We monetize via IP licensing, retrofit & integration kits, and a scalable mid–long range passenger program.
We focus where physics scales and certification matters: ultra-low NOx combustors, flashback resilience, H₂ storage & delivery at pressure, and airport-ready procedures—all aligned to ARP/DO processes.
Why ColibriV is a compelling investment
Hot-fire campaigns generate licensable IP and cert-ready artifacts quickly—before full aircraft certification.
Pressurized NOx/stability maps, flashback margins, and PRD/ventilation playbooks are hard-won and defensible.
Turbofan thrust class and airport-pragmatic storage/delivery target routes that move the decarbonization needle.
Licensing, retrofit/integration kits, paid pilots with operators, and future aircraft programs.
Demand concentrates in short-to-mid/long-haul passenger networks where turbofans dominate and emissions matter most.
Upfront license + per-engine royalty; integration kits with service margin; later aircraft margins layered on top.
Staged mixing, stability maps at pressure, PRD & ventilation drills; early DOA/ODA engagement and audit-ready artifacts.
Why Costa Rica — and why Liberia (LIR)
Liberia, Guanacaste (LIR) is optimized for fast iteration: cooperative authorities, reliable weather, and proximity to H₂ logistics. The testbed turns design cycles into evidence quickly—reducing program risk.
Evidence, artifacts, and supplier traction under NDA
- 1Test Evidence: NOx & stability plots, run sheets, configuration notes.
- 2Safety & Cert: HAZOP/FMEA snapshots, PRD & ventilation strategy, MoC outline (ARP/DO).
- 3Commercial: Supplier MoUs, airport pilot plans, licensing & kit pathways.

Investor FAQs
Are you focused on regional turboprops?
No. Engines-first program aimed at mid–long range passenger missions with turbofans and gaseous H₂ (350–700 bar).
Why non-cryogenic hydrogen now?
Removes cryogenic complexity; accelerates hot-fire cadence, emissions mapping, and airport rehearsals.
How do you monetize near-term?
Licensing of combustor/controls IP, retrofit & integration kits, and paid pilots—while the aircraft family matures.
Key technical risks?
Flashback/stability and NOx. We mitigate with staged mixing, pressurized mapping, and controls; evidence feeds ARP/DO artifacts.
Certification plan?
ARP4754A/ARP4761, DO-160, DO-178C alignment with early MoC drafting and DOA/ODA partners; evidence packs exportable to multiple authorities.
Where is the testbed?
Liberia, Guanacaste, Costa Rica (LIR) for fast iteration and reliable ops windows.
Engines first. Certification from day one.
