LiquidPiston
LiquidPiston is developing advanced rotary engines for hybrid, aerospace, and power generation applications. They focus on innovative engine systems, emphasizing efficiency, compactness, and power density.
LiquidPiston develops and commercializes a patented rotary combustion technology (the X‑Engine) built around its High‑Efficiency Hybrid Cycle (HEHC). Their compact engines deliver very high power density — up to ~10× the power of comparable piston engines — and roughly 30% better fuel efficiency, making them a strong fit for hybrid‑electric systems and range extenders. Target markets include aviation and unmanned aircraft, portable and stationary generators, industrial and defense applications, and OEM integrations across their X‑mini and XTS platforms.
