The Spanish and French company Pangea is positioning itself as a go-to propulsion company within the aerospace industry. It first drew attention in 2021 with a successful demonstration of an aerospike engine in Germany. Four years on, testing is already underway for its larger, reusable Arcos engine, which is on course to become the first flight-ready aerospike engine in the world.
NSF spoke with Pangea’s founder and CEO, Adrià Argemí, to learn more about the technical journey and how the company is overcoming many historic hurdles to turn this long theorized engine concept into reality.
