Elroy Air is proud to announce that it will become a publicly traded company through a business combination with Inflection Point Acquisition Corp VII. As drone dominance quickly becomes a national strategic priority, we will use this opportunity and additional capital to rapidly scale our production of Chaparral, enabling the opportunity to define the middle-mile logistics market, as well as the future of autonomous flight and drone delivery. As a public company, we will continue to lead the next great logistics revolution of autonomous flight and deliver across the defense, commercial and rapid response markets.

Introducing Project Obsidian: the world’s first superhot geothermal power plant. Right now in Central Oregon, our team is pushing #geothermal beyond its limits and into a whole new era. For the first time, we’re building a plant designed to generate electricity where Earth’s natural heat is most powerful: 300–500°C. At those temperatures, a single well can deliver 10–100x more power than all other forms of geothermal. Project Obsidian is the birthplace of gigawatt-scale geothermal and a new chapter in human innovation. Because when #energy is high-density, always-on, low-cost, and zero-carbon, it doesn’t just power the grid; it reshapes economies. It strengthens energy security and brings reliable power within reach for communities everywhere. Project Obsidian, at a glance: ◾Phase I: 50 MW ◾Phase II: 250 MW ◾Phase III: 1+ GW ◾Zero waste ◾Zero fuel ◾Zero emissions Humans have used geothermal for thousands of years, but mostly where nature makes it easy: hot springs and rare geologic hotspots. Our key technology breaks that boundary by going hotter and deeper than ever before. Millimeter wave #drilling is the solution: high-power microwaves that ablate rock with zero contact. Project Obsidian will be the first commercial deployment of millimeter wave drilling, unlocking a future where geothermal can expand east of the Mississippi and beyond the global Ring of Fire, bringing superhot geothermal within reach of more than 90% of humanity. Obsidian is just the beginning; it’s the best-studied, most economically viable location in the United States to prove a whole new scale of clean power using Earth’s natural heat. This is superhot geothermal: energy, perfected.

Elroy Air was the only OEM with a purpose-built, heavy-payload cargo drone selected for the @USDOT eIPP. Read about how Chaparral will provide autonomous aerial cargo delivery in the Gulf Coast alongside our partner @Bristow_Group. businesswire.com/news/home/2026… #eVTOL #Chaparral

Elroy Air was selected by @USDOT for the eVTOL Integration Pilot Program. We’ll work alongside @Bristow_Group to put Chaparral to work delivering cargo in and around the Gulf area & to energy industry locations in Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi. transportation.gov/briefing-room/…

@elroyair @USDOT @Bristow_Group This is HUGE! Wow… 🤯👏

Validation matters, especially from partners building the world’s most advanced defense and aerospace systems. As Chris Moran, VP & GM of @LockheedMartin Ventures, went on to say: “The launch of their new factory marks a major step forward, demonstrating how intelligent, robotic production can bring greater speed, precision, and scalability to the industry.” Machina is the Factory.

@MachinaLabs_ @NYSE @theCUBE Lets ring the bell asap 🍿🙏

There are only a few times in your career when you can look back and say, “That year changed everything.” For all of us at #Quaise Energy, 2026 will be one of those years, and here’s why. Superhot Geothermal ▪️Construction is underway at our pilot project in the western United States on the world’s first superhot #geothermal commercial power plant. ▪️Later this year, we’ll drill confirmation wells and run a flow test to validate superhot conditions at commercially relevant scales. ▪️We’ll introduce our first commercial #offtake agreement, demonstrating the strong market demand for superhot geothermal. Millimeter Wave Drilling ▪️In #Texas, we’re extending our field progress, going from 100 to 1,000 meters this year. That’s more than two Empire State Buildings deep. ▪️At our headquarters, we’re commissioning a 1‑megawatt gyrotron (10x as powerful as our current systems) to drill faster and larger boreholes on a commercial scale. ▪️Our team will continue to integrate, test, and harden the full millimeter wave #drilling system to prepare it for deployment at our first power project. Energy production and access to the Earth’s subsurface are foundational to modern civilization and global #energy security. With superhot geothermal, we unlock always-on, zero-carbon power at scale, near demand centers, and with a path to global deployment. Our brilliant team at Quaise Energy is transforming how we reach the heat of the #Earth and how we power the world in 2026, and far beyond: I encourage you to follow along. Carlos Araque President and CEO Quaise Energy

@QuaiseEnergy LFG Carlos!!! 🍿🔥

We’re proud to announce that we’ve signed an initial agreement with Barq Group to set up a $200M joint venture for Chaparral manufacturing and services in Abu Dhabi. Read more: elroyair.com/company/news/p…

In the desert you stay silent, until it’s time not to. A silhouette from Abu Dhabi. The rest reveals itself Monday.

I will DENY any relation this post has to Anduril’s 🤣 But Abraham Accords 2.0 is live, powered by U.S. startups. Roboformed Grand Mosque is beautiful. Imagine how defense systems will look!

Today, we are launching Red Queen Bio (redqueen.bio), an AI biosecurity company, with a $15M seed led by @OpenAI. Biorisk grows exponentially with AI capabilities. Our mission is to scale biological defenses at the same rate. A 🧵 on who we are + what we do!👇🏻1/19

@elroyair @KratosDefense The military version looks awesome 🔥🤯

We’ve selected @KratosDefense as our exclusive U.S. manufacturing partner to accelerate high-volume production of the Chaparral. This partnership positions us to rapidly meet the growing demand across commercial and defense markets. elroyair.com/company/news/p…

“We’re rapidly moving from #microwaves in the ground to #megawatts on the grid,” says Matt Houde, co-founder and Chief of Staff, from the demo site where our team is conducting the first field tests of millimeter wave #drilling, on the path to superhot #geothermal development

We’re proud to announce a major milestone for Elroy Air: our Chaparral aircraft has successfully transitioned from vertical takeoff to 70mph wingborne flight. To our team, partners, and supporters, thank you! Onward and upward!

@elroyair LFG 🔥🚀

Chaparral reached a new milestone with an autonomous flight at 35+ mph forward speed and 130+ feet altitude! Watch as we switch seamlessly back and forth between VTOL and forward flight modes. We’re getting closer and closer to transition to wingborne flight. Stay tuned!
