Black Kestrel is pioneering the future of aviation by redefining what is possible with all-electric aircraft through the innovative use of advanced technologies, including our self-developed energy storage and advanced electric propulsion systems. At the core of our vision is the XE-21, an experimental electric-powered aircraft designed to push the boundaries of altitude, range, and performance.
Our mission is to fly the XE-21 to the very edge of space, showing the true potential of electric aircraft technology. This endeavour will be more than a technical achievement; it is a bold statement about the future of flight. By proving that our aircraft can operate at such extreme altitudes and conditions, we hope to inspire a new era of cleaner, more efficient aviation.
Black Kestrel was founded by Jake Quinton, a pilot and electronics engineer with a lifelong fascination of electrical generation and its potential to revolutionize aviation. Driven by a vision to create cleaner, more sustainable flight, Jake saw the untapped potential of electric power. However traditional batteries simply couldn't store enough energy to make electric flight viable.
Check out our latest news & updates on the XE-21's progress.
Undeterred by this challenge the only way forward was to develop an entirely new energy storage system capable of delivering the power needed for electric propulsion. For over a decade, Black Kestrel has been researching and refining an advanced energy storage solution. This has led to the development of the Generator Cell, which will push the boundaries of flight and shape the future of sustainable aviation.
At the heart of our electric aircraft is our self-developed Generator Cell technology, which with our advanced electric propulsion system will enable extended flight durations, greater altitudes, and unprecedented efficiency.
Our journey is just beginning. As we continue to push the boundaries of electric aircraft, energy storage and electric propulsion we're looking for partners and innovators who share our passion for sustainable aviation.
