About

Radical’s StratoSats are autonomous platforms that provide satellite-like services on demand. They fly within Earth’s atmosphere to provide persistent, high performance infrastructure across applications in earth observation, connectivity, and more. Unlike satellites, StratoSats navigate freely without the need for rocket launches or orbits - reducing costs, increasing flexibility, and ensuring customers get the targeted coverage they need.

Founders

James ThomasFounder
Co-Founder & CEO at Radical (W23) - Radical makes high altitude solar-powered aircraft. Our aircraft are able to fly continuously in the stratosphere without landing. They provide an inexpensive, zero-emissions way to connect and observe earth like never before. Prior to this I worked at Amazon Prime Air for six years (doing aerodynamics and aircraft design for delivery drones).
