Step 01- Intro Call
Define scope, success metrics, and artifacts to generate.
Engines First → Passenger Programs
Partner with ColibriV
Help us prove hydrogen-combustion turbofans with compressed gaseous H₂ (350–700 bar)—no cryogenics—then scale to mid–long range passenger programs. Certification evidence from day one.
Build with us where it matters most: pressurized single-sector data, NOx & stability maps, flashback margins, and airport-pragmatic ops (PRD, ventilation, detection, rapid turnarounds). We turn every test point into cert artifacts and partner-ready playbooks—so the path from engine to mid–long range passenger operations is fast, auditable, and exportable across authorities.

Data Access & IP Models
- NDA Evidence Packs: Run sheets, NOx/stability plots, and configuration notes with versioning.
- Joint IP / Field-of-Use: Clear licensing paths for retrofit kits and platform integrations.
- Data Room: Restricted access to emissions campaigns, safety artifacts, and supplier MoUs.
Compliance & Safety
- • ARP4754A/ARP4761 systems process & safety analysis
- • DO-160 environmental testing & DO-178C software scope
- • Airport norms: PRD, ventilation, detection, e-stops, drills
How to Get Started
Step 02 - Plan & Safety
Draft test/validation plan, IP lane, and safety checklist.
Step 03 - Execute & Iterate
Run at LIR testbed, review evidence, expand campaigns.
FAQs
Are you focused on regional turboprops?
No. We’re focused on mid–long range passenger programs using turbofans and gaseous H₂ to accelerate certification evidence.
Why non-cryogenic hydrogen?
350–700 bar gaseous H₂ removes cryogenic complexity, enabling faster hot-fire cadence and earlier emissions/safety validation.
How is IP handled?
We define scopes under NDA, with joint IP or field-of-use licensing models that support retrofit and platform integrations.
Can airports join early?
Yes—fueling bays, PRD/ventilation paths, detection coverage, and turnaround procedures are partnerable now at LIR.
What does success look like?
Pressurized NOx/stability maps, validated PRD/ventilation, smooth transients, and audit-ready artifacts mapped to EASA/FAA and partner authorities.
How fast can we start?
We scope a lane, agree safety/compliance items, and schedule rig time at LIR—then iterate based on evidence pace.
