## About

Founded in 2020 and based in Washington, US, New Frontier Aerospace, Inc. operates as a developer of rocket engines for planetary landers, quick cryogenic orbit transfer stages, and net carbon-negative hypersonic aircraft. In October 2024, New Frontier Aerospace, Inc. raised an amount of Seed funding from investor Pacific Bays Capital. As of 2024, the company is headed by its CEO Bill Bruner. 

NFA's flagship product, the Mjolnir rocket engine, features a full-flow staged combustion. Designed for hypersonic aircraft and spacecraft, Mjolnir operates using clean liquid natural gas (LNG), which can be sourced renewably for a net-negative carbon footprint. The engine is also designed for reusability, with capabilities for deep throttling and easy start/stop operations.

The company plans to use the October 2024 funding to increase the scope of its development and activities.
