Our crop protection aircraft offers agricultural services providers and farmers an autonomous tool to make aerial application safer, more precise, and less harmful to surrounding environments. Both vehicles are highly economical to operate, easy to deploy, and significantly reduce C02 emissions in their respective industries. \r\n\r\nWhat you work on at Pyka makes people’s lives better now and brings the future of electric aviation one step closer each day. \r\n", "one_liner": "Autonomous electric airplanes", "team_size": 75, "industry": "Industrials", "subindustry": "Industrials -> Aviation and Space", "launched_at": 1493697117, "tags": [ "Airplanes", "Climate", "Agriculture", "Transportation", "Electric Vehicles" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Summer 2017", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "Industrials", "Aviation and Space" ], "regions": [ "United States of America", "America / Canada", "Remote", "Partly Remote" ], "stage": "Growth", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/pyka", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/summer-2017/pyka.json", "year_founded": 2017, "city": "San Francisco", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/18059383", "x_url": "", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/pyka", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/ab395c9348a7c63120116c2e7ac1f9f2f257c543.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 158601, "full_name": "Michael Norcia", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": null, "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-norcia-13a79124/", "x_url": null, "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/c085e4f25ea2fba5d48a05152b24b9e9eea26211.jpg" }, { "user_id": 178568, "full_name": "Nathan White", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": null, "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathan-white-8a1950a9", "x_url": null, "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/a7e83d3609c652dab67095e5ed4f8601bd9e3056.jpg" }, { "user_id": 181956, "full_name": "Kyle Moore", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Co-Founder of Pyka building autonomous electric airplanes", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-moore-1485536a/", "x_url": "", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/8b8dd72cc6f36db5d68e4a45b4e65d444d0e6c6b.jpg" }, { "user_id": 183892, "full_name": "Chuma Ogunwole", "title": "Founder/COO", "founder_bio": "", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuma-ogunwole-10893316", "x_url": "", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/1ef7d27378121c32b4aab2755eade7e86bf7a9f7.jpg" } ], "jobs": [], "news": [ { "title": "World's largest pilotless cargo drone Pyka zips $40M Series B to spread wings in defense — TFN", "url": "https://techfundingnews.com/pyka-raises-40m-to-expand-autonomous-electric-aircraft/", "date": "Sep 23, 2024" }, { "title": "World's largest electric cargo plane unveiled", "url": "https://electrek.co/2023/01/30/worlds-largest-electric-cargo-plane-unveiled/", "date": "Jan 30, 2023" }, { "title": "Pyka adapts its autonomous electric plane for cargo runs with a $37M round – TechCrunch", "url": "https://techcrunch.com/2022/04/26/pyka-adapts-its-autonomous-electric-plane-for-cargo-runs-with-a-37m-round/", "date": "Apr 26, 2022" } ], "launches": [] }, { "id": 12089, "name": "Heart Aerospace", "slug": "heart-aerospace", "former_names": [ "Dragonship" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/c550b32949bcde8cb176bd2fb2069bf1ca3cac65.png", "website": "http://www.heartaerospace.com", "all_locations": "Los Angeles, CA, USA", "long_description": "Heart makes electric airplanes.

Contact: [bc@stralis.aero](mailto:bc@stralis.aero)\n\n**Problem - Alternatives Compromise on Range or Cost**\n\nAs other modes of transport decarbonise, aviation’s contribution to global emissions will increase. Based on our first hand experience, we believe other sustainable flight alternatives compromise on:\n\n* Battery Electric - limited range & payload\n* Hybrid Electric - expensive to operate, limited emission reduction\n* Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) - expensive & emits other harmful pollutants (NOx, sulphates, particulates)\n\n**Solution - Hydrogen Electric Propulsion**\n\nWe're convinced hydrogen electric is the cheapest way to rapidly decarbonise 50% of commercial flights.\n\n* How it works - Green hydrogen and air are combined in a fuel cell stack to produce electric power, which is used by an electric motor to turn a propeller. The only thing emitted during this process is water.\n* Our proprietary hydrogen electric propulsion system is 35% lighter than the competition, unlocking useful aircraft ranges at low cost.\n* Our first product is a retrofit of an already certified aircraft, allowing us to get to market quicker and cheaper.\n* We plan to deliver 50,000 of our 48 seat SA-1 aircraft by 2050, generating $850B in revenue.\n\n**Our Backstory**\n\nWe met in 2017 at [magniX](https://www.magnix.aero/), leading teams developing electric aircraft propulsion systems for the world’s first battery powered eBeaver and eCaravan flights. The Stralis team has 85 years of aerospace experience, having developed, flight tested and certified aircraft at GoogleX, [Heart Aerospace (YC W19)](https://heartaerospace.com/), [Ampaire](https://www.ampaire.com/), Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and Gulfstream.

Motor controllers with 3x higher power densities, that remain cost competitive with existing solutions.\n\n\n\n# The Problem\n\nAutomotive manufacturers are quickly transitioning to electric vehicles but initial offerings remain expensive and are largely unprofitable. This has led to slow adoption compared to their combustion engine counterparts.\n\nWe have both witnessed while working at Tesla, the immense difference in design and cost between Tesla's vehicles, and EVs from existing vehicle manufacturers. Incumbent part suppliers and manufacturers are skilled in the intricate mechanical design of combustion engine vehicles, but lack the electrical expertise for EVs which are primarily chips and PCBs.\n\n# Our Solution\n\nAt Steinmetz, we are starting with the inverter (motor controller). This lies between the battery of the vehicle and the motor--it converts the DC power from the battery into 3 phase AC for the motor. Using modern power electronics techniques and tight systems integration, we are able to deliver a motor controller which achieves 3x greater density than the state of the art, at equal or greater efficiency. This allows us to bring down not only the unit cost of inverters in vehicles today but, through greater density and higher efficiencies, the cost and performance of the whole vehicle.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88019&key=user_uploads/1381592/997953eb-7e3b-4ba7-9d07-6a1d21f3c43f)\n\nTo give context for the density improvements here, our bandgap product is able to drive a peak power of 200kW through the equivalent volume of 3 yerba mate cans. This is the same power draw as 450x 4090 GPUs or 6.5 server racks fully populated with H100 GPUs (208 GPUs).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88019&key=user_uploads/1381592/981f5792-0f6b-42c9-bb4a-dee43a2c8e2b)\n\n# We are on a mission to simplify electric vehicle hardware and accelerate adoption\n\nIf you are working on any electric vehicle (trains, cars, boats, snowmobiles, cranes, submarines, planes, tractors, etc.) learn more at [steinmetzmotors.com](https://steinmetzmotors.com/) or send us an email: [founders@steinmetzmotors.com](mailto:founders@steinmetzmotors.com)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88019&key=user_uploads/1381592/28930e11-55a3-4eda-a40d-693b603f0c01)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88019&key=user_uploads/1381592/a0ad2acc-de3a-4227-be09-3a8a768f4c96)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Mtf-steinmetz-hardware-for-the-next-generation-of-vehicles", "votes": 27, "created_at": "2025-02-25T17:47:52.712Z" } ] } ]
