Anumá Aerospace Corporation

Anumá Aerospace is an aerospace company based in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, United States. It is developing solar-electric airships that use partial-vacuum lift cells.

The company says its partial-vacuum lift cells allow full buoyancy control, including zero static lift. The site says this makes handling and landing safer and easier than with typical helium airships.

The site says the airships would emit no carbon dioxide, no particulates and no water vapour. It says that at scale, the airships could reach a destination halfway around the globe within 14 days.

The site lists target markets. These include global shipping, rural access, humanitarian aid, military and municipal use, mining, aerospace and energy, and airborne fulfilment. It also names persistent surveillance, sensing and communications missions.

The site says the company is building a lean manufacturing organisation certified to AS9100D. It mentions additive manufacturing, automation, 5S, Six Sigma and Kaizen as part of its methods.

The site names Jamie Little as chief executive officer, Diana Little as president and Dave Craft as chief operating officer. It describes Jamie Little as an engineer and inventor with a background in product development.

The site shows news items, including recognition in The Washington Post and Cargo Facts. It also reports a second-place finish in a 2024 National Security Innovation Network showcase for defence applications. The office is at Suite 104, 2 Davis Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709.
