About us
Wrath Inc. builds aircraft that do not need airports. We are an early-stage aerospace company in Alexandria, Virginia, founded in 2026.
The gap we are filling.
Helicopters land anywhere but are loud and short-legged. Electric air taxis are quieter but carry little range. Business jets go far, but only between airports.
LUXBAT is designed for the trips in between: farther and faster than a helicopter, farther than an electric air taxi, and from your own pad instead of an airport.
How we work.
Every LUXBAT figure comes from one integrated design model. Mass, structures, aerodynamics, noise, flight control and cost are computed together, under version control, so a change in one place is checked everywhere.
We plan to build the aircraft's major systems ourselves rather than buy them, so we control cost and schedule as LUXBAT moves from design to prototype.
