Praxis Aeronautics

Praxis Aeronautics is the leading solutions provider of Solar Energy Harvesting Composite Structures to the global Autonomous Systems market.

“THE SOLUTION TO COMMERCIALLY VIABLE SOLAR ELECTRIC VEHICLES IS NOT PURELY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUITABLE SOLAR TECHNOLOGY BUT IN HOW THE SOLAR CELLS ARE INCORPORATED INTO THE VEHICLE STRUCTURE.”

— CAMERON DONALDSON, FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR INNOVATION & MANUFACTURING

Praxis Aeronautics specialises in the design and manufacture of Solar Energy Harvesting Composite structures, the first structural solar cell encapsulation on the market. Working primarily in the Defence Autonomous Systems market, when applied to Unmanned Aerial Systems and Unmanned Surface Vehicles the process offers 200-300% range extension without the impediments typically associated with solar integration such as added weight and fragility. The Praxis team comprises expertise in composite design and manufacturing, aeronautical and structural engineering, electronic and software engineering. The Australian owned company is based in Adelaide, South Australia, and provides solar composite structures and associated products to customers globally.
