Edison Aerospace Heavy 1 electric agricultural aircraft in flight

Civilian Aviation — Heavy 1 eSTOL Agricultural Aircraft

Edison Aerospace's flagship Heavy 1 is a patent-pending distributed-electric eSTOL aircraft engineered to replace traditional crop-duster turbines: 40‑ft wingspan, 200 gallon spray capacity, 8 electric motors, ground-effect operation, and extreme short-takeoff-and-landing from unprepared fields.

The aircraft brings 50% lower operating costs, zero combustion emissions, and a substantially safer cockpit profile — addressing the leading cause of agricultural pilot fatalities. Edison is the only company building a full-scale electric replacement for traditional ag aviation, not a sub-scale drone.

Heavy 1 is covered by USPTO Provisional #63/667,697 and serves as the dual-use airframe substrate underwriting Edison's defense portfolio.

US Defense — Autonomous Constellations for Contested Environments

Edison's defense portfolio is the natural extension of Heavy 1: same airframe family, same distributed-electric propulsion, same autonomy stack — re-tasked into LionFish (autonomous aerial decoy & EW), Heavy 1 Defense (unmanned cargo/munitions delivery), UNCV (unmanned naval combat vessel), SeaWatch (maritime sensor & decoy network), and the Mobile Power & Command Hub for containerized constellation operations.

Four USPTO provisional patents filed. Edison is SAM.gov active (UEI V3Z7BRFKMHS3, CAGE 1ZZD3) and engaged across USAF, Navy, USDA, and DARPA SBIR programs. The dual-use grounding — agricultural commercial revenue underwriting defense innovation — lets Edison deliver constellation-scale autonomy at a unit cost competitive with adversary attritable platforms.

From our CEO

"Our goal is nothing less than to replace every single turbine and piston Ag spray aircraft with one of our electric models. Our spray operators and pilots deserve nothing less than to operate more profitable, cleaner, safer, and more efficient spray aircraft! It's about time they've been liberated from dependence on foreign oil as well!"
