About the company

Sentian Aerospace builds modular, long-endurance unmanned aircraft for the missions others cannot reach. The technology its founders developed was acquired by a publicly listed international aerospace company.

The challenge

Turning a capital-intensive, engineering-led aerospace project into a credible, investable UK business, with the commercial model, IP strategy and investor readiness that a deep tech company needs.

How NEXUS helped

NEXUS gave the founders structure, accountability and an independent commercial perspective through their UK build, pushing them to value IP, commercial validation and route to scale alongside the engineering, and standing with them through investment, restructuring and acquisition.

The outcome

The long-endurance UAV technology the founders developed, across the Xplorer and Copperhead platforms, was acquired by Volatus Aerospace, a publicly listed international aerospace company, in a completed transaction comprising firm consideration and milestone-linked equity. Both founders were retained to continue developing it from the UK.
