Frontline Aerospace will exhibit at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) in October 2026, presenting the latest progress on SkyFan™ — a clean-sheet business aircraft concept designed around breakthrough fuel efficiency, short-field flexibility, quiet operation, and intercontinental range all at M0.8+. Visitors will be able to review updated competitive comparisons, CFD progress, technical literature, and
SkyFan™ was originally conceived around proven GE turbine power, but the fully FAA-certified GE Catalyst is now the stronger long-term choice. Although Catalyst’s certification timeline extended SkyFan’s development path, the result is a modern clean-sheet turboprop engine that better aligns with SkyFan’s efficiency goals. GE Aerospace states that Catalyst was designed to deliver 15% better

Frontline Aerospace’s Cnetriptial compressor patent was published by the USPTO. It’s critical value in gas turbine compression is improved specific power and fuel savings. It works by removing heat from the compression process thereby reducing the energy and work required to compress the air.
This patent application is for improving the system efficiency of parabolic trough collector fields. It works by capturing stray light that would have missed the collector tube due to plant age, array settling and misalignment. Overall the SkyCon product retrofit can improve plant efficiency byt 2-3%.
Helicopter Association International (Heli-Expo) hosts the world’s largest helicopter trade show and exposition. The event will be at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, TX.
