A Flying Community

We started Orb Aerospace because we had a passion for flying. Eventually through democratizing aviation, our objective is to extend the freedom of flight to even the poorest among us. For now, we extend that opportunity to our community through supporting our employees pilots licenses.

Individual Responsibility

Our team consists of people who, given the freedom, are capable of much more than we could ever ask. Our system is one of mutual accountability from the CEO to the Janitor (which happens to be the same person).
