Don’t miss Justin Selfridge, Founder and CEO of Devorto, on the latest episode of the Drone Radio Show!
Selfridge talks with host Randy Goers about why the stratosphere is such a critical domain for future aviation systems, how the TURN platform works and what makes it different from anything we’ve seen before, and the real-world applications and impact this technology could have across commercial and defense sectors.
Justin Selfridge, PhD, is Founder and CEO of Devorto Corporation. Devorto is developing a breakthrough high-altitude platform called the Tethered Uni-Rotor Network, or TURN—a completely new aircraft architecture designed to combine the vertical lift and loitering capability of a helicopter with the aerodynamic efficiency of an airplane, enabling long-duration, solar-powered flight in the stratosphere.
Backed by both private investment and government support from organizations like NASA, the U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. Space Force, Justin and his team are working to redefine how we think about high-altitude operations, with the potential to disrupt both satellite and traditional aerial platform markets.
