I-Ship Continental — illustrative commercial transport concept

I-SHIP CONTINENTAL · ILLUSTRATIVE CONCEPT · SUBJECT TO ENGINEERING AND VALIDATION

TPG Cleantech · IAC 2026 · Antalya

I-SHIP

A new era of aviation.

A multi-regime aerospace platform conceived for commercial mobility, defence missions and airborne space access.

Front-fed lift, high-speed flight and a scalable architecture form the design vision. Our next chapter is modelling, testing and evidence-led development.

One platform · Three mission directions
01 / CONTINENTAL

Commercial mobility

A vision for advanced passenger and executive transport, pairing a distinctive aerospace platform with a premium travel experience.

02 / COMMANDER

Defence missions

A mission-adaptable concept for mobility and response, with operational suitability to be established through engineering and validation.

03 / SPACE ACCESS

Airborne space access

A reusable carrier concept exploring an airborne pathway to space, with mission architecture and feasibility to be developed and tested.

Technical engagement

Turning vision into evidence.

TPG has established technical engagement with Professors Stephan Staudacher and Malte Krack at the University of Stuttgart.

The engagement supports the pathway toward modelling, propulsion testing and validation. It is a development relationship, not a statement of university endorsement or independently validated platform performance.

Planned development pathway

From concept toward a demonstrator.

01
Modelling

Define mission cases and assess coupled aerodynamic, structural and propulsion behaviour.

02
Validation

Establish measurable hypotheses, review assumptions and build the evidence base.

03
Propulsion testing

Progress through instrumented component and subsystem testing.

04
Demonstrator development

Advance integration and demonstration only as technical evidence and resources support the next gate.

I-Ship is a development-stage concept. Visuals are illustrative; capabilities, efficiency and mission performance remain subject to engineering, testing and independent validation.
