About

I build transportation systems that behave as promised: at the curb, at the dock, in the air, and on the balance sheet. At Edison, our work begins where conventional mobility stops—then moves with the discipline of an infrastructure program. The result is not a prototype. It is a fleet.

Today, the 40,000th Edison Kestrel entered service. Three model years ago, we asked whether a lift-vehicle could earn the same trust as the family car. Forty thousand pilots and fourteen metro corridors have answered.

The Kestrel completed its first unassisted corridor flight at 05:42 this morning. No chase aircraft. No tether. No correction from the ground. An ordinary departure, which is exactly what makes it historic.

Flight test is where optimism meets instrumentation. The instruments held.
