The future of energy is decided at the surface.
A thin layer of moving air or water separates a machine from its potential. SES develops advanced technologies for aircraft wings and turbine blades — working at the leading edge to cut waste across two of the world's largest energy systems.
Two of the systems we depend on most run far below what physics allows.
We work in the layer where a surface meets the flow moving over it.
That boundary — on a wing, on a blade — is where drag occurs, where lift is made or lost, and where noise is born. SES is developing technologies that reshape what happens there, so aircraft fly further on less fuel and turbines capture more of the wind and water they already stand in. The physics is shared, so the work spans aviation and clean energy alike.
Surface technology for aircraft wings — retrofit or built in — that improves how the entire wing moves through the air — reducing fuel usage, increasing range and payload.
Surface technology for turbine blades that causes them to rotate sooner, run quieter, and draw more energy from the same wind or current.
Shaped through extensive fluid-flow simulation and validated against physical prototypes.
31 granted and pending patents across the markets and regions where the technology will be used.
Drawn from aerospace, defense, and advanced engineering, with a history of commercializing advanced technologies.
SENIOR EXECUTIVE TEAM
Comprised of the Inventor and the professionals he led and collaborated with while commercializing his intellectual property — collaboration that produced strategic alliances and licensing agreements with some of the world's largest entities, beginning with IBM.
