Faradair Aerospace

Faradair Aerospace is a UK company that designs aircraft. It was founded in 2014 and calls itself the UK's first dedicated Advanced Air Mobility company. The company is based in Cambridge, England, and its address on the site is in Cambridge.

The company was formed to develop crewed and uncrewed aircraft. Its designs use hybrid-electric power and box-wing or joined-wing shapes. The site says the goal is multi-mission capability for unmanned and regional air mobility aircraft.

The site says the company is close to proof-of-concept flights for its first full-scale prototype. It says this aircraft will fly faster, further and carry more payload than its peers in its class. The company says the final design is nearing completion.

The site describes Faradair as a dual technology company. It says it works on assets for defence and commercial markets. The company says it is talking with customers, investors and governments and expects revenue later.

The company's legacy designs came from unmanned air vehicle work, and the site says these designs won overseas contracts. A concept study led to a new joined-wing design. The site also lists two physical concept models used to test the design.

The leadership team includes founder and chief executive Neil Cloughley, who has more than 20 years in commercial aviation finance and leasing. The chief financial officer, Jon Sturgess, is a qualified accountant. The chief aerodynamicist is Prof Ben Evans, who heads aerospace engineering at Swansea University.

The company has a partnership with Swansea University's aerospace engineering and testing facilities. The site says the company was recognized by PwC as a company to watch. It also won the Sir Michael Marshall Award for Sustainability in Aviation. The site lists a contact page and social links on X and LinkedIn. It does not give a phone number in its text.
