NRC IRAP funded $75,000 in January 2026 for the design of its patent-pending Hybrid Intelligent Piston Engine as a retrofit for legacy aircraft and uncrewed aerial vehicles. search.open.canada.ca
Won a second NRC IRAP contribution of $66,304 from April 2026 to build a UAV-sized proof-of-concept prototype and commission a test cell. search.open.canada.ca
Its published roadmap targets iron-bird testing in 2027, Transport Canada supplemental type certification in the first half of 2028 and commercial launch later that year. magneticmotioninc.com
