Rewriting aviation

Building the aircraft, the engines, and the autonomy that fly them.

Flight in city

The LATeral way of thinking

Three programs: Civil, Defence, and Gas Turbine Engines, built in parallel, in-house, from first principles. Each program develops capability the others use. The propulsion stack feeds the aircraft. The autonomy stack flies it.

Civil

Civil

An 8-seater hybrid-electric STOL aircraft that flies from air-stops the size of a parking lot.

Distributed electric propulsion generates high lift, enabling operations from compact air-stops instead of traditional airports. The hybrid powertrain provides optimal battery boost for short takeoff, with a turbogenerator giving us the endurance for a useful mission. Designed and built in-house, validated in flight.

Defence

Defence

Systems that perceive, decide, and act, built in India from the ground up.

Vision-based multi-object tracking running on real-time hardware. Sensor fusion, state estimation, and control built in parallel. A roadmap from tracking to swarm coordination to GNSS-denied navigation. The same stack flies on LAT aircraft.

Gas Turbine Engines

Gas Turbine Engines

Sovereign gas turbine engines, built from the ground up.

Compressor, combustor, turbine, and controls, all designed and tested in-house. Our own analysis tools and test stands, developed alongside the engines themselves. The power source our aircraft are built around, and one only a handful of countries have ever developed. A path from clean-sheet design to first fire to flight.

The people behind it

LAT started with a recurring conversation - while building Zomato and traveling constantly across the country, Deepinder and Surobhi kept asking why regional air travel was still so broken: expensive, infrequent, and out of reach for most of India. They couldn't find a good answer. So they decided to go build the one that should exist.
