Jaunt Air Mobility selects Calogy Solutions to design battery system for next-generation dual-use hybrid-electric VTOL drone

AIRO Group Holdings, Inc., a next-generation aerospace and defence company, today announced that Jaunt Air Mobility has selected Calogy Solutions to design the battery system for its recently unveiled next-generation hybrid-electric, JC-250 and JX-250 VTOL drone variants.

The collaboration marks another key milestone in Jaunt's development of advanced autonomous aircraft designed to support defence, commercial, and industrial missions. By integrating innovative battery engineering and thermal management technology, Jaunt continues to advance a platform engineered for safe, reliable, and high-performance operation in demanding environments.

Calogy Solutions will develop the battery system using its proprietary Uni.T™ passive air-cooling technology, which delivers liquid-cooling performance without the weight and complexity of traditional liquid-cooled systems. The lightweight architecture is designed to support reliable operation across a wide range of environmental conditions while helping mitigate thermal runaway propagation to enhance overall system safety.

"We are pleased to partner with Calogy Solutions as we advance the development of our next-generation hybrid-electric VTOL platform," said Eric Côté, President, Jaunt Air Mobility Canada. "Their expertise in battery engineering and their innovative thermal management technology align well with our focus on building a safe, reliable and high-performance aircraft capable of operating in demanding environments. We look forward to working together as we move the program toward flight testing and commercialization."

The battery system is a critical component of Jaunt's hybrid-electric propulsion architecture, designed to enable efficient power management while supporting the aircraft's performance, endurance and operational flexibility. The partnership will further strengthen Jaunt's growing network of technology collaborators as the company accelerates development of its next-generation VTOL aircraft.

"This partnership validates years of innovation at Calogy," said Mahmood Shirazy, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Calogy Solutions. "With Uni.T and battery engineering designed for the harshest conditions, we are proving that high-performance, safe and lightweight energy systems can power the future of advanced air mobility."

As demand for autonomous and hybrid-electric aircraft continues to grow across defence, logistics, and commercial markets, Jaunt remains focused on delivering innovative vertical flight solutions that combine advanced propulsion technologies with practical operational capabilities.
