Building the Next Generation of Aircraft

Across sectors and size classes, starting with Polaris

How We Build

A new kind of airframer, built to move fast

Tidal was founded to bring new aerospace technology to market faster than the incumbents can. Our organization designs, certifies, and manufactures the next generation of aircraft, starting with Polaris to meet an immediate market need.

01

Electrified Propulsion

An organization optimized around new propulsion technologies from the ground up, not adapted to them later

02

Modern Tools

Enabled by AI, Tidal has built a lean organization around our low-cost, vertically integrated software suite, called SHADOW

03

Rapid Iteration

Modern manufacturing methods are in our DNA, enabling us to get from clean sheet to first flight quickly and at low cost
