Develops a patented rim-driven electric jet propulsion motor to hybridise or fully electrify existing aircraft, alongside a related electric propulsion line for marine vessels.

  • A federal disclosure records a signed ACOA agreement dated 23 February 2026 running to 31 March 2027, valued at $250,000 and marked non-repayable. It is an agreement value, not a disbursement. search.open.canada.ca

  • NRC IRAP funded it in 2024 to establish a certification basis for the eJet with Transport Canada Civil Aviation, toward type certification for flight testing. search.open.canada.ca

  • Completed a ground test of its patented eJet motor at Summerside, Prince Edward Island, announced October 2023. duxion.com

  • Announced its electric jet patent in February 2022. Its own news feed has published nothing since November 2023, so the funding agreement evidences recent funding rather than current operations. duxion.com

  • Also received a $1,000,000 ACOA contribution from November 2024 for an electric propulsion system for marine vessels - a second, non-aviation product line. search.open.canada.ca

  • Its largest award is a $1,625,000 conditionally repayable ACOA contribution for electric jet propulsion development, amended up from $1,500,000 in March 2024. search.open.canada.ca

  • That agreement appears three times in the federal search at $1,000,000, $1,500,000 and $1,625,000. Those are quarterly snapshots of one agreement, recorded once at the amended value. search.open.canada.ca
