Alumni of both Makani and Kitthyawk, Magpie co-founders Damon and Andy are working to develop a truly zero carbon solution for flight, by towing electric aircraft with other electric aircraft.

Magpie’s inaugural Advisory Board members will play a pivotal role in guiding the company's strategic decisions, technological advancements, and industry partnerships.
