Alterra Aerospace

Changing how
the world travels.

ALTERRA is an early-stage aerospace startup developing advanced technology for faster, cheaper, more efficient flight. It starts with EVA — our first development vehicle.

Our mission

Build some of the most advanced technology for aerospace — and make travel across the planet, and beyond it, cheaper and more efficient.

// ALTERRA — an aerospace startup, laying the foundation.

The vision

From EVA to anywhere on Earth in under an hour.

We're not selling products — we're building toward something. Every step teaches us what the next one needs.

01 — NOW

Develop EVA

A small experimental vehicle in development today. EVA is how we learn — aerodynamics, structures, and control — and prove we can engineer a vehicle from the ground up.

02 — NEXT

Single-stage spaceplanes

What EVA teaches us feeds into the real goal: small, single-stage spaceplanes that reach the edge of space and travel between any two points on the planet.

03 — THE GOAL

Travel, transformed

Crossing the world in thirty minutes to an hour — travel and access to space that's radically cheaper and more efficient than anything flying today.

Current project

EVA — where it all starts.

EVA is the vehicle we're developing right now — a small lifting-body design that lets us learn the fundamentals of building a real flight vehicle: the shape, the structure, and eventually the systems that will fly it. It's the first step toward everything above.

Trajectory

Where this is headed.

A startup today, with a deliberate climb ahead.

Phase 01 — Now

EVA — design & development Current

Designing and iterating EVA — the vehicle, the tools, and the understanding that everything after it builds on.

Phase 02

Build & test

Turning the design into hardware and putting it through real testing — learning from every iteration.

Phase 03

Toward the spaceplane

Applying what EVA proves to the development of a small single-stage spaceplane — the platform for point-to-point flight.

Phase 04

Anywhere in under an hour

The end goal: crossing the planet in thirty minutes to an hour, and making space and travel cheaper and more efficient for everyone.
