Let us design the link you need between thrust and sustainable aviation
We develop hybrid and electric aviation drivetrains, precision gearboxes, thermal management and charging systems – for eVTOLs, commercial aircraft and airport energy infrastructure.
Aviation Drivetrains
Enabling electrification and hybridization for eVTOLs, regional and single-aisle aircraft, while maintaining the power density and reliability required for commercial operations.
Almost a century of turbine optimization has reached its limits – radical progress requires new architectures. ADT develops hybrid and electric propulsion systems tailored to your aircraft: simpler, more robust designs, optimized performance, wide-range rotor speed variation and electric boost for enhanced manoeuvrability. From eVTOLs to single-aisle aircraft, we take your drivetrain from concept to product.
Let us Build the Future of Flight – Together!
Gearbox Design
Precision-engineered gearboxes delivering durability and efficiency for propulsion systems – whether on the ground, in the air or in space.
Gears that deliver uncompromising precision, durability and efficiency – for hydrogen, electric or hybrid powertrains, on the ground, in the air or in space. ADT optimizes layouts and machine elements for maximum performance and minimal weight, improves lifespan through macro- and microgeometry optimization, and enhances durability with specialized coatings. From compact space gearboxes to the Giant Magellan Telescope.
Let us design the link you need, between thrust and sustainable aviation!
Thermal Management
Advanced thermal management systems ensuring optimal performance and longevity for high-power applications in aircraft and airport energy infrastructure.
Alternative propulsion only performs when every component stays within its thermal limits. ADT develops tailored thermal management solutions for energy storage systems, electric and hybrid powertrains and complex integrated systems – from efficient heating and cooling concepts to intelligent circuits for aviation propulsion. With simulation-driven engineering from the earliest design phase: Matlab/Simulink, CFD and FEM.
Stay cool and let us Power the Future of Flight – Together!
Battery Storage & Charging Systems
Fast, safe and scalable energy systems for eVTOLs, electric aircraft and airport charging networks – including battery preconditioning.
Charging an electric aircraft in 20 minutes – safely, without heavy on-board cooling. ADT combines high-performance charging stations, integrated battery-buffer storage and advanced thermal management into scalable systems for eVTOLs, electric aircraft and airport charging networks. Currently in prototype testing with the Diamond eDA40 – on track for serial production in 2027.
Charge fast. Stay cool. Fly more!
Why ADT Exists
ADT Engineering was founded by aviation engineers with a clear ambition: to enable emission-free, sustainable propulsion for the future of flight. Whether for eVTOLs, commercial aircraft, propulsion systems or airport infrastructure – our technologies empower the entire aviation ecosystem to fly cleaner, cooler and more efficiently, without compromising performance or reliability.
Our reason to exist is a simple passion: pioneering eco-friendly technologies in aviation. Traveling by aircraft should leave neither a guilty conscience nor any doubt about its environmental impact – so that cultural exchange across the globe remains possible for generations to come.
We provide you the missing link between thrust and sustainable aviation – together, connecting people worldwide.
Proven in Products and European R&D
From funded research to flight-ready products: our work is proven in European R&D programmes and in prototypes on their way to serial production.
eDA40 Fast Charger
High-power fast charging system for the Diamond eDA40 – charging an electric aircraft in 20 minutes, safely and without heavy on-board cooling. Currently in prototype testing, on track for serial production in 2027.
High-Power BESS
+2 MW / 2 MWh battery-buffer storage in a 20-ft container – decoupling fast charging from limited grid capacity at airports and enabling scalable charging networks for eVTOLs and electric aircraft.
Space & Giant Telescope Gearboxes
Precision gearboxes for space mechanisms and the Giant Magellan Telescope – engineered for maximum performance, minimal weight and extreme durability under the most demanding conditions.
Lubgear
Designing lighter, safer aviation gearboxes – LUBGEAR advances the understanding of gear friction under reduced lubrication and loss of lubrication, enabling lighter gearboxes and simpler lubrication systems without compromising safety, for reduced aircraft emissions.
exFan
Thrust from waste heat: exFan develops a novel heat dissipation and recuperation system for fuel-cell-powered aviation – a Meredith-effect ducted heat exchanger that turns waste heat into up to 10% additional thrust, enabling zero in-flight CO2 and NOx emissions.
Yes we have EDF projects
ADT contributes to European Defence Fund projects as partner and work package leader – bringing expertise in aviation propulsion, hybridization and electrification, thermal management as well as storage and charging solutions to critical European programmes.
