Aerospace & Defense

No moving parts. No power requirements. Inherently reliable in high-vibration, vacuum, and zero-gravity environments.

The Problem

Extreme Environments Demand Zero-Failure Fluid Management

Aerospace and defense fluid systems must perform in high-vibration, vacuum, extreme temperature, and zero-gravity environments where conventional pump-based systems fail or require impractical maintenance.

Any mechanical component is a potential failure point in these applications.

The Surnetics Solution

No Mechanical Components — Inherently Reliable

Passive surface-driven flow has no moving parts, requires no power, and is inherently immune to vibration, orientation, and vacuum environments.

This represents a paradigm shift for fluid management in space, satellite, and defense applications.

Competitive Advantages

Why This Matters for Aerospace

Zero Moving Parts

No pumps, valves, or mechanical components — eliminating the primary failure mode in aerospace fluid systems.

Zero Power Requirements

Passive flow requires no electrical power, preserving critical power budgets on satellites, UAVs, and remote platforms.

Vibration & Orientation Immune

Surface-driven flow is unaffected by vibration, g-forces, or orientation changes — performing identically in any attitude.

Vacuum & Zero-G Compatible

Capillary-driven flow operates in vacuum and zero-gravity environments where conventional pumps cannot function reliably.
