Axalp Technologies AG

Our Axalp Technologies team enjoyed the hike, the flying, and of course the fondue! #avgeeks

Last week was the annual flying demo and live firing(!) demo of the Swiss Air Force, “Fliegerschiessen” We took our team to this event at the village “Axalp” in canton Bern. (This connection to the mountains and to aviation inspired us to take the name for our company!)

To keep pushing the technology base for electric flight, this year engineers from Axalp Technologies will be advising and mentoring the latest project team. We look forward to many great interactions with the students – we’re sure both sides will learn something! @CELLSIUS_aero

Some of our engineering work for our customers is in these same areas, related to systems and prototypes for electric, hybrid-electric, and eVTOL aircraft, so we know how hard the design and systems challenges can be.

Axalp Technologies is proud to be the newest sponsor of the e-Sling aircraft and the activities of the umbrella project organization, Cellsius. The work that the student team from ETH Zürich have accomplished, to build a fully-electric light aircraft AND FLY IT, is amazing.

Introducing Simon Höhener! Simon recently completed an internship at Axalp Technologies. He assisted on different projects, for example designing aluminum fittings for electric aircraft battery mounting, and conducting structural analysis of metallic and composite parts.

FIRST FLIGHT! We are excited to announce the first test flights of an aircraft under the banner of Axalp Technologies. Our team is operating a custom-built multicopter as a testbed for flight control systems. Sorry we can't show if off yet, but there are more flights to come!

One of our test teams took advantage of the nice weather this week to do some outdoor ground testing with a new subscale testbed aircraft. (offscreen) We can't wait to fly this vehicle to gather flight data in support of one of our customer programs! #aerospace #evtol

Recently Axalp Technologies celebrated the second anniversary of our founding! Our project work has allowed us to grow from 2 employees then to almost 25 today. We thank our customers for their trust in our engineering work. Growth allows us to serve our customers even better!

We recently shipped a set of custom propeller systems to a customer. These systems are equipped with 5 blades each, designed for electric motors. This customer is using one of our own blade designs and a hub with adjustable pitch blocks. Variable pitch hubs are also available.

Yes, Top Gun: Maverick has made it to Switzerland! Some of the Axalp Technologies team made a pilgrimage to a local historic theater to get some jet-fueled motivation and fun. Now it's time to create callsigns for everyone in the office! #topgun #aerospace #drones #evtol #aam

Our team was happy to talk to the Oltner Tagblatt and tell them about our projects and our team. The full article requires a subscription to access, but you can get a taste of it here! oltnertagblatt.ch/solothurn/olte…

We have developed a custom engineering flight simulator for Pie Aeronefs SA, for the first Swiss all-electric Race Aircraft! Our engineering sims are based on proven flight physics models, and are essential tools for new aircraft development. Read more: axalptech.com/blog

We are excited to be participating in this Innosuisse effort, with @TwingTec and the other project partners!

The team was working through the parts and components breakout, and composite fabrication options for those parts, so we can help our customer get into the air as soon as possible. Can't wait to see it fly at the end of the year!

Brainstorming in the conference room! Our prototyping team working through planning for another aircraft prototype for one of our key customers. We work hand-in-hand with our trusted network of fabrication partners and suppliers to turn ideas into flying prototypes. #aerospace

A new decoration for the office! A colleague had a turbine-powered Belgian reconnaissance drone from the early 1970's in his garage. (don't ask!) Why not hang it up in the office for some vintage drone atmosphere?

We are hiring! New jobs being posted weekly. Check out our two newest: Aerodynamics Engineer: linkedin.com/jobs/view/2854… Aircraft Test Director: linkedin.com/jobs/view/2867…

As we enter 2022 with exciting projects on deck, we welcome Tim Dawson-Townsend as our CEO. Tim will guide us through this period of growth as our team provides our customers with expert engineering support to bring concepts, prototypes, and products to life. We're hiring!
