Artist ImpressionAirborne infrastructure for sovereign defence, ISR & logistics
Solace Aerospace — a family of design-frozen hydrogen-powered VTOL platforms spanning tactical ISR, persistent endurance, and heavy logistics. Built for specialist defence and emergency services — search and rescue, medical extraction, and police operations. Sovereign, zero-emission, and runway-independent, engineered in Sydney to perform when the stakes are highest.
Two aircraft. One mission: deliver where nothing else can.
Artist ImpressionColossus - Stratos H2
A high-endurance, hydrogen Hybrid platform built for persistent surveillance and long-range reconnaissance. Its high-aspect laminar wing and cryogenic-grade hydrogen tank deliver transcontinental endurance from a runway-free footprint — purpose-built for sovereign ISR and search-and-rescue over vast, runway-less terrain.

A Ducted Hybrid Electric Rotor workhorse engineered to deliver transport and heavy payloads into remote (austere) environments — from medical extraction teams and emergency resupply to specialist defence loads. Independent lift fans provide true vertical takeoff and landing, while a scalable hybrid hydrogen-electric powertrain sustains heavy external loads over distance.
Engineered around hydrogen, autonomy, and the absence of runways.

Hydrogen fuel cell powertrain
Liquid hydrogen stores roughly three times the energy per kilogram of lithium batteries — giving our aircraft transcontinental range with water as the only exhaust. Pressure-regulated, crash-tested tanks keep it safe and stable in flight.
Hybrid VTOL flight
Dedicated lift fans handle vertical takeoff and landing, then the aircraft transitions to fixed-wing cruise for efficiency. No runway, no launch infrastructure — operate from a clearing, a deck, or a dirt strip.
Autonomous avionics
Triple-redundant flight computers, detect-and-avoid sensing, and BVLOS-ready software let each aircraft plan, navigate, and adapt to weather without a pilot in the loop — with encrypted command override at all times.
Sovereign capability for defence and emergency services.
Medical extraction & MEDEVAC
Reach and extract the injured from terrain no helicopter or vehicle can access — delivering medics and evacuating casualties on hydrogen endurance.
Police & law-enforcement support
Persistent aerial surveillance, rapid response, and situational awareness for frontline police operations without runway dependence.
Search & rescue
Long-endurance coverage of vast search areas with onboard sensing and resupply drop capability — finding and sustaining those lost or stranded.
Specialist defence & sovereign ISR
Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance for defence and security agencies — built on Australian soil, operated under sovereign control.
We build the aircraft the world will use to move things that matter.
Solace Aerospace is a Sydney-based sovereign capability company building hydrogen-powered vertical takeoff and landing aircraft for specialist defence and emergency services. We exist to give Australia and its allies runway-independent aircraft that perform when the stakes are highest — and the runway is nowhere to be found.
Police, search-and-rescue, and medical extraction teams across the region — delivering people, equipment, and intelligence into terrain no other platform can reach. Zero-emission, long-range, and built on sovereign soil.
