Elanus Aerospace, LLC is an engineering company focused on making transportation more sustainable on the ground and in the air. Its work aims to reduce the energy required to operate vehicles and the resources needed to manufacture them. The company’s design philosophy emphasizes lightweight, manufacturable, and maintainable solutions, while seeking synergies between components and combining multiple functions where practical.

Elanus Aerospace offers preliminary design services, including conceptual design and sizing, as well as propeller design. Its analysis capabilities cover airfoils, aircraft performance, stability and control, propeller performance, and aircraft loads. The company also uses tools such as OpenVSP, Rhino surfacing, and CAD in its design work.

For prototyping, Elanus Aerospace has a 3D printer with a build volume of 310 by 210 by 250 millimeters, using PETG, and a three-axis CNC machine with a 510 by 355 by 140 millimeter work area for wood and soft metals such as aluminum. Its approach brings engineering, analysis, and practical fabrication together to support more efficient transportation designs.
