It’s been so long since this blog has been updated, but it is not due to inaction from this startup journey.
In fact, so much has been going on that there has been little time to post a sincere update anywhere. Great progress has been made thus far in this startup journey and it’s only right that we update it directly to the website as well.
On March 26th, 2024, our patent was granted after much anxious awaiting. There were hangups here and there in the process that made what was supposed to be a six-month journey take the typical 2 years. However, despite the anxieties and nail biting, the patent was finally granted and we are doing our best to build the technology to prove its real world feasibility by the end of 2025.
Our patent combines many theories which will allow for manned aircraft to vertically takeoff and land (VTOL) on the surface of water. This is something that has not been publicly attempted before in history. So, our goal is huge and will require great backing and extended research and testing. This is a major scientific development which is gaining much attention in multiple parts of the world right now as I type up this blog post. Here is a link to the patent if you would like to read more about it: https://patents.google.com/patent/US11939054B2/
Another major development in this startup journey is that I, the CEO of HazelAero, have decided to develop this technology in South Korea rather than the United States. There are a lot of government incentives available for electric aircraft in South Korea that I hope to gain access to soon. We maintain a US based address for official business dealings, however. The US address is a branch office and our headquarters are now in Seoul, South Korea.
And, perhaps, the greatest development in this startup journey most recently is that HazelAero has been accepted into the Peachscore accelerator. This is a 12 week accelerator and we are now entering week 5. We are learning a great deal in the process of this program and will be participating in the demo day in August where we will pitch our business to investors and corporations alike.
Very, very exciting developments are underway here at HazelAero and thank you for joining us along the ride.
Onward.
