The Curtiss team is hard at work making their final preparations for their first Hades 1 prototype which will be used for intensive validation and tuning this Winter.

Likewise, their manufacturing partner, Fast Radius, is busy creating all of the proprietary components that will be used on Hades 1 based on the finalized CAD data. The Hades 1 prototype will be made up of machined titanium and aluminum, and will feature several handcrafted prototype components. Ultimately, the production Hades 1 will be made of titanium, aluminum, and carbon fiber.
