.@samaysanghvi explains the engineering challenge of building an aircraft that combines the aerodynamic efficiency of a glider with the maneuverability of a fighter jet.

“We operate at this very interesting intersection of having to be incredibly aerodynamically efficient, because if we waste energy, we can’t harness that, and yet having to maneuver like a fighter jet.”

“For maximum aerodynamic efficiency, you just want very thin, very long wings, which is what our aircraft have.”

“Our aircraft operates sometimes in the range of 7 to 10 Gs, which is insane.”

“You’d normally see gliders that are super slow and super-efficient on one side of the spectrum, and then fighter jets that have super short, stubby wings, but can really quickly maneuver.”

“We’ve built an aircraft that’s at the intersection of both.”

Huge congrats @samaysanghvi on closing a $2.5M pre-seed led by @lachygroom and @scaletogether.

What Samay is building at @AlteonAerospace is wild: planes that fly for over a year without landing. Take off in 2026, land in 2027.

The way they do it is even wilder: dynamic soaring, the same technique the albatross evolved to cross oceans without flapping its wings. The physics is understood; the engineering is brutal.

And here’s what has got me fired up: Samay isn’t alone.

Seven days. Three founders. Three milestones.

All three members of Startup Policy Forum, the Triple A group (Airbound, Alteon, Aspera) is on an absolute tear.

@khushhhi of Aspera dropped an insane prototype video, @TheRealNamzoo
of Airbound announced his Series A, and now Samay closes his pre-seed.

Three young, ridiculously ambitious aerospace founders (friends and flatmates) hitting new heights in a single week. The pace is staggering.

This is what the future of India’s deeptech looks like. 🔥

Watch this Triple-A gang!

🚨 Bengaluru-based Alteon (@AlteonAerospace) has raised $2.5M pre-seed from Lachy Groom and Together Fund.

Their aircraft recently flew autonomously less than 1 metre above the ocean, a key step toward using dynamic soaring to harvest wind energy and stay airborne for months.

[HEMANT SANGHVI @Nanusanghvi]

@samaysanghvi @lachygroom @shubg @scaletogether Absolutely outstanding....great achievements 👏

[Samay Sanghvi @samaysanghvi]

At Alteon, we are building planes that fly for more than a year without landing. Ones that would take off in 2026 and land in 2027.

We’ve raised a $2.5M pre-seed, led by @lachygroom, with participation from @shubg at @scaletogether.

We do this using a flight technique called dynamic soaring, and we just hit our biggest milestone yet toward making it a reality:

[TechCrunch @TechCrunch]

Founded by a 20-year-old, Alteon is developing autonomous aircraft that hopes to harvest wind energy to stay aloft for several months.

[Naman Pushp @TheRealNamzoo]

For too long, we've accepted that the flying is a fundamentally more expensive form of movement. I reject that reality.

Today we're announcing our $37M Series A, led by @Greenoaks, to build a world where all movement is in the air.

#TheSpotlight | India’s Next Tech Generation Is Thinking Beyond Conventional Paths:

From choosing startups over traditional career routes to building ambitious ventures at a young age, a new generation of founders is rewriting what success, work and ambition can look like.

For Gen Z entrepreneurs, the question is no longer “What job will you get?” — but “What can you build?”

@shaurya_sinha7, Filmmaker, @samaysanghvi (Founder, Alteon) and @khushhhi_ (Founder, Aspera) share their insights

@samaysanghvi @AlteonEnergy @samaysanghvi Absolutely Amazing....OUTSTANDING 🎊🎉

[Samay Sanghvi @samaysanghvi]

The Wright Brothers gave humanity flight, Alteon exists to give humanity (almost) perpetual flight.

Alteon Energy builds the world’s highest endurance airplanes – ones that can fly for ~417 days at a time without landing.

Today, I’m excited to share with the world our first step towards this vision – the Infinidrone 🧵

[HEMANT SANGHVI @Nanusanghvi]

@samaysanghvi Well done 👍
