Evolito selected to Supply Electric Propulsion Motors for Flying Whales' Innovative Airships

 BICESTER, England

Evolito’s D250 aerospace electric motors to power Flying Whales’ LCA60T airship

Expected entry into service 2028

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Evolito Limited, proudly announces its collaboration with Flying Whales, a pioneering company in the development of large capacity airships. This partnership marks a significant milestone in sustainable cargo aviation, demonstrating both innovative solutions to real world problems and reducing carbon footprints.

Evolito will provide their state-of-the-art D250 electric propulsion motor for the LCA60T airship, which is due to make its debut test flight in 2027. The LCA60T is 200 meters long and has been designed to transport exceptionally heavy loads of up to 60 tonnes. Flying Whales' airships are designed to provide a unique solution for transporting heavy and oversized cargo, especially in regions with limited infrastructure. By utilizing Evolito's advanced motors, Flying Whales aims to create a more efficient and environmentally sustainable mode of transport, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and promoting greener logistics practices worldwide.

Flying Whales selected Evolito’s D250 electric motor for its airship because of its exceptional power and torque density. Each airship will be powered by 32 D250 motors. Another critical factor for Flying Whales in their choice of electric motor partner was Evolito’s ability to scale production to deliver the quantity of electric motors required to meet Flying Whales’ production forecast.

Evolito’s electric motors are the smallest and lightest in their class. The D250 offers industry leading power density of 18.5kW/kg providing 240kW peak power and weighing 13kg.

In 2023 Evolito was awarded Design Organisation Approval by the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority and is working towards POA and ISO9001 later this year which will help to reduce certification costs for Flying Whales.

Vincent Guibout, CEO of Flying Whales said, “When designing an airship, weight is critical. In the three years we have been working together, Evolito has demonstrated the ability to deliver best in class power density from its unique axial flux electric motors along with the ability to ramp production to meet our forecast requirements. There is an excellent synergy between our teams - we share the same passion for enabling electric flight through engineering excellence and innovation - and I look forward to working with Evolito towards the first LCA60T flight and beyond into production and commercial operation.”

Dr. Chris Harris, Evolito CEO and co-founder said, “Flying Whales’ LCA60T airship is a truly inspirational aircraft, demonstrating that electric flight can help solve global challenges - from reducing harmful emissions to delivering critical infrastructure sustainably. Evolito’s unique axial-flux technology enables a new class of lightweight, compact and high-performance electric motor, opening up many new aircraft designs, mission profiles and use-cases -setting new standards in electric propulsion for Aerospace.”

Evolito

http://www.evolito.aero

Evolito is making electric flight a reality by offering world-leading electric axial flux motors, motor controls and battery systems for the aerospace market. Evolito’s electric propulsion systems offer the highest power, torque, and energy densities in class and are inherently more robust than alternative technologies – mission critical in eVTOL, Urban Air Mobility, helicopter and fixed-wing applications. The privately-held company is based in Oxford. Evolito’s investors include B-Flexion and Oxford Science Enterprises (OSE).

Parse Biosciences Invalidates All 10x Genomics’ Patent Claims Asserted Against Its Products

 SEATTLE - Tuesday, 04. February 2025 AETOSWire 

Decision Marks a Significant Legal Victory for Parse Biosciences, Reinforcing Commitment to Innovation and Fair Competition

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Parse Biosciences, a leading provider of accessible and scalable single cell sequencing solutions, today announced that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued Final Written Decisions invalidating all claims in 10x Genomics’ 10,697,013 and 10,240,197 patents. Coupled with the invalidation of 10x Genomics’ 10,155,981 patent last year, Parse has now invalidated all claims that 10x Genomics asserts against Parse products, further reinforcing Parse’s ability to drive ongoing innovation in the single cell space.

In defense of their patents, 10x Genomics presented a series of meritless arguments, which included disputing the publication date of a peer reviewed article. The PTAB stated Parse’s evidence provided “the figurative nail in the coffin” to reject 10x Genomics’ arguments. The Final Written Decisions further noted that the patent specifications were not even focused on single cell analysis, but rather described an unrelated method.

“We are pleased with the decision published by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, further validating Parse’s unique position within the single cell genomics space,” states Alex Rosenberg, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Parse Biosciences. “Parse offers a fundamentally differentiated solution that makes single cell sequencing more scalable without the need for expensive microfluidics. The recent decisions reward innovation and promote accessibility to cutting edge new tools. This is a win for the research community.”

About Parse Biosciences
