# Wright Launches DenseGen 3750 Containerized Genset Wright Electric is a U.S.-based aerospace and defense company building advanced power systems for military and aviation applications. From 30 kW expeditionary generators (Dynamo) to multi-megawatt airborne propulsion (WM2500), Wright develops the motors, generators, inverters, and batteries that enable next-generation defense capabilities. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Malta, NY, Wright works with the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps, NASA, ARPA-E, FAA, and major aerospace primes to bring these systems to operational use. ## Our Mission Wright Electric builds power systems that solve fundamental challenges across defense, aerospace, and commercial markets. For defense users, our technology enables Agile Combat Employment, distributed basing, expeditionary operations, and next-generation airborne mission systems, supporting the multi-megawatt power architectures required for advanced electronic warfare, directed energy, and resilient communications. For commercial and industrial customers, our high-power-density inverter generators and containerized turbogenerators support data center backup, oil and gas operations, construction sites, and hybrid power systems. Across both markets, Wright's technology reduces logistics burden, increases efficiency, and delivers power density where existing solutions fall short. ## World-class engineering meets a vision for sustainable flight Wright was founded in 2016 by Jeff Engler, a serial entrepreneur who had long been concerned about reducing his own carbon footprint. He realized that air travel is a huge contributor to emissions, comprising up to three-quarters of a frequent traveler’s carbon footprint, and decided to do something about it. Jeff hired top engineers from companies like Boeing, GE and Bombardier to build Wright’s electric propulsion system. ## Zero emissions up to 800 miles The Wright 1 will make all short flights under 800 miles free of carbon emissions, in the U.S. and globally. San Francisco → Seattle: 679 miles → Las Vegas: 414 miles Houston → Atlanta: 696 miles New York → Washington D.C.: 213 miles → Chicago: 740 miles Chicago → Minneapolis: 334 miles → Washington D.C.: 612 miles → Atlanta.: 606 miles ### Our Leadership We've brought together the brightest minds in aerospace and electrical engineering to make zero-emissions flight a reality. #### Jeff Engler Founder, CEO #### Colin Tschida Head of Powertrain #### Earl Fairall Director of Electric Machines ### Our Team #### Aaron Rowe Staff Engineering Manager, Batteries Aaron has twelve years of experience working in a wide range of startup companies, almost always at the interface of chemistry and computers.
