🚨Just Announced: Beehive Completes High-Altitude Testing of Frenzy™ Engine — Clearing the Path to Flight. Beehive has successfully completed high-altitude testing of the 200 lbf Frenzy™ engine, validating ignition, operability, and performance across the full flight envelope. The test campaign was executed in partnership with the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI) under a AFRSO - Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office (RSO) contract. In under a year, Frenzy™ has gone from concept → ground test → altitude test → flight ready. That’s the speed, technical excellence, and execution required to outpace rapidly evolving threats. What the altitude campaign proved: - Successful ignition and operation across the flight envelope - Rapid acceleration from light-off to 100% engine speed - Turbine temperatures and thrust-specific fuel consumption better than predicted - “Like new” hardware condition after mission-life equivalent runtime Altitude proven. Flight ready. Read the full announcement here: https://lnkd.in/gRKphd66

The ultimate 'before and after.' It's incredible to think that an unassuming pile of metal powder contains the potential for building high-performance, flight-ready jet engines to Power American Defense. Beehive Industries is redefining manufacturing—turning material science into industrial alchemy. This is the real power of additive manufacturing: speed, efficiency, and the ability to turn the impossible into a physical reality. https://lnkd.in/gf4k88Gp
Would you believe it? This pile of powder, transformed into a 200-pound thrust engine in just a matter of months. That’s the ingenuity of Beehive Industries at work. These engineers have cracked the code of using 3D-printing for better, faster, more efficient jet engine development. For jet engines that power American defense at lower cost, greater capacity, and unrivaled performance, our country relies on Beehive.

At the National Defense Industrial Association - (NDIA) Air Armament Symposium, our Chief Product Officer, Gordie Follin, joined leaders from CoAspire and Anduril Industries to discuss how industry can strengthen America’s air-delivered munitions for sustained conflict. The panel, led by Maj. Gen. Michael Rothstein (USAF, Ret.), tackled the hard truths: rapidly evolving threats, shrinking timelines, and the need for an industrial base built not just to scale—but to adapt at speed. And that’s exactly where Beehive is leading. We’re leveraging advanced additive manufacturing to redesign and print critical engine components in days, building resilient dual-source supply chains with U.S. and allied partners, and scaling production rapidly within our existing footprint. It’s fast, flexible, and engineering-first—built for the demands of modern conflict.

In honor of Veterans Day, our Veterans ERG brought a unique experience to all Beehive locations: a hands-on MRE lunch. From heater packs to entrée hacks, our team got a small taste of how service members fuel up in the field—while taking time to honor those who’ve served. POWERING AMERICAN DEFENSE never tasted so good.

Exciting news — Beehive was just featured in National Defense Industrial Association - (NDIA)'s National Defense Magazine! Our 3D-printed Frenzy™ engine is leading the charge in additive propulsion — fewer parts, faster timelines, and unmatched performance for uncrewed systems. Warfighter capability delivered at the speed-of-need. Come see us at the NDIA Air Armament Symposium (Booth #P8) to learn how Beehive is Powering American Defense and helping rebuild the arsenal of freedom.
