About

Radia is building the world's largest aircraft, the WindRunner™, with 10x bigger volume than a 777, and the ability to land on dirt strips.

"Our main goal when we started Radia was to take 10% of the CO2 out of the world. This remains our intent. The product we have been designing happens to also be spot-on to fill the under-investment in strategic airlift. We intend to provide it for this purpose and fund much of the project with defense."

The WindRunner is also a multi-use technology and platform that can be used for defense, aerospace, and other oversized cargo applications in addition to wind energy. Radia was competitively selected by both the World Economic Forum as a 'WEF Unicorn' and Endeavor as an 'Endeavor Entrepeneur'.
