With Connecticut Incubation Help, Firm To Enter UAV Engine Arena

Governor M. Jodi Rell of Connecticut has announced six more start-up technology companies have received a financial boost through the Connecticut Small Business Incubator Program, including one firm intent of gaining ground in the UAV industry.

The Small Business Incubator Program (SBIP) was developed in 2007 to further the work of small, technology-based firms, such as Quadra-Aerrow International. This company was established to design, develop, and manufacture small aircraft engines for remotely piloted vehicles. The firm’s technology focus is on developing engines for the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) market that run on heavy fuels rather than standard gasoline. Its $32,500 grant will be used for development of a heavy fuel prototype engine. Quadra-Aerrow is a participant in CCAT’s business incubation program.
