Custom aerospace-grade battery pack factory
Hey everyone, we’re Cooper and Lucas - cofounders of Kyten Technologies👋
TL;DR
American manufacturers are racing to build 100,000+ autonomous vehicles for the air, sea, and space. Every vehicle needs a custom, aerospace-grade battery pack, but the supply chain delivering them is holding programs back. We’re changing that.
During our six years at Starlink, we put over 5,000 battery packs into space. Now, we’re bringing rapid development and volume production to the entire industry.
Ask: We have capacity for a few pilot customers—if you know any sea, air, or space manufacturers, please send them our way at lucas.maddox@kytentech.com.
🐌 The aerospace supply chain is holding OEMs back
Every drone, submarine, and satellite needs a custom battery pack. But as demand grows into the tens of thousands per year, the supply chain is a generation behind:
- 6-12 months to design and qualify custom builds.
- 6-12 months to ramp to high volume production.
- At least 5x the cost of vertically integrating the product itself.
Forced vertical integration results in slower programs, higher costs, and significant delivery risk.
🛠️ Kyten builds aerospace battery packs fast and at high volume
We spent a combined eight years at Starlink and Shield AI driving down lead times and increasing production capacity of aerospace-grade battery packs. Kyten builds on this experience to deliver high volumes in weeks, not 12+ months:
- 1 week to design via adaptive architecture.
- 1 week to qualify via automated in-house testing.
- 1 week to volume production via software-defined manufacturing.
- 1,000s of units/year per product.
Unlike the legacy aerospace supply chain, Kyten thinks like a modern manufacturer. If you, or anybody you know, needs custom aerospace-grade battery packs, please reach out at lucas.maddox@kytentech.com 🦅
