About LaunchPoint Electric Propulsion Solutions
LaunchPoint Electric Propulsion Solutions is based in Goleta, California. The company was spun out in 2020 from LaunchPoint Technologies (LPT), a technology incubator founded in 1992. In 2010, with U.S. government funding, LPT’s engineering group began developing a novel electric machine for flight power generation. After a decade of development, new management took over in 2020 and spun out LaunchPoint EPS to commercialize the technology globally. The company designs and manufactures lightweight, high-specific-power axial-flux electric motors, starter/generators, and alternators for combat aircraft, uncrewed aircraft systems, and airborne pods. Its patented ironless axial-flux technology covers a power range from 1.5 kW to 250 kW, including hybrid electric generator sets and SiC-based controllers. LaunchPoint also offers contract manufacturing, custom design, and engineering consulting for aerospace electric machines and hybrid systems. LaunchPoint serves the aerospace, defense, thermal management, power generation, Advanced Air Mobility, and automotive sectors. Its customers include global Fortune 500 companies, aerospace and defense primes, and air vehicle integrators. A notable example is L3Harris, which selected LaunchPoint to develop and manufacture the power generation unit for an advanced electronic warfare pod known as Growler Power. The company differentiates itself through its patented ironless axial-flux architecture, which delivers 30–50% greater power density (kW/kg) and over 97% efficiency in a compact form factor. Additional advantages include a hermetically sealed magnet array, multi-layer single-turn windings that mitigate winding faults, and a fault-tolerant dual-core design that maintains partial operation after failures. LaunchPoint’s MAAP software suite optimizes hundreds of propulsion design variables, while its SmartPoint controllers enable bi-directional motor/generator operation.
