Harmony Aeronautics is a Texas based, early-stage startup which seeks to commercialize dual-use quiet propulsion technology developed at Texas A&M University. Its founders are award-winning acoustic, mechanical, and electrical engineers with experience from NASA, Boeing, and Army Research Laboratory. The group founded Harmony Aeronautics in 2018 with a singular mission and vision to be a global leader in ultra-quiet propulsion design.
Harmony has developed its technology with support from industry and government partners including NASA, Army Research Laboratory, and Air Force Research Laboratory.
GoFly Prize
The impetus for Harmony was Boeing's international GoFly Prize. Boeing announced the $2 million contest to spur development of quiet, compact, and easy-to-fly personal flying devices. More than 800 competitors from around the world submitted designs to the contest. Harmony was one of 10 finalists in the "design" phase and one of 5 finalists in the "build" phase. Harmony's innovative design was lauded by technical judges in the final "fly-off" of the contest in February 2020.
