Aurora Labs has moved another step from propulsion development toward commercial production, securing AS9100D certification and its first US engine order while customer enquiries expand. But with only A$1.148 million in cash at quarter-end and 1.5 quarters of funding estimated, the A$6 million raise is central to the next phase.

Aurora Labs posted a 36% increase in net loss to $5.1 million for FY2026 despite securing key defence contracts and partnerships. The company is transitioning from R&D to early commercialisation of its micro gas turbine propulsion systems, backed by a $5.5 million capital raise and government grants.

Aurora Labs marked its commercial debut by delivering AU4 micro gas turbine propulsion systems to Sovereign Propulsion Systems, while securing a $1 million government grant to scale production and formalising a strategic defence partnership with MBDA.

Aurora Labs has begun batch deliveries of its AU4 micro gas turbine propulsion systems to Sovereign Propulsion Systems, marking a key step towards real-world flight testing and commercialisation in defence and UAV markets.

Aurora Labs has landed a $1 million Australian Government grant, matched dollar-for-dollar, to boost production of its micro gas turbine propulsion systems for defence applications using commercial 3D printing technology.

Aurora Labs has made significant strides in commercial propulsion delivery and deepened its partnership with European defence giant MBDA, while scaling manufacturing capabilities and reinforcing its Board with defence expertise.

Aurora Labs reported a 15% revenue decline and a 12% increase in net loss for H1 2026, yet marked a strategic breakthrough with its first defence propulsion order and a successful $5.5 million capital raise.

Aurora Labs has marked a significant milestone by securing its first purchase order for micro gas turbine engines, alongside strategic MOUs with major defence groups and a $5.5 million capital raise to fuel growth.

Aurora Labs has advanced its micro gas turbine propulsion program with critical durability testing, a new Defence contract phase, and a strategic $5.5 million capital raise to scale manufacturing and commercialisation.

Aurora Labs has secured over A$900,000 in contracts with the Australian Defence Force, pushing forward its advanced propulsion systems and additive manufacturing capabilities. A strategic partnership with Sovereign Propulsion Systems aims to integrate these innovations into next-generation unmanned aerial systems.

Aurora Labs has secured a $450,000 Phase 2 contract from the Australian Department of Defence to prototype a high-thrust, fuel-efficient propulsion system for unmanned aerial systems, building on its innovative 3D metal printing technology.

Aurora Labs reported a 34% increase in loss after tax to $3.75 million for FY2025, alongside a 327% surge in revenue driven by defence contracts and 3D printing services. The company is progressing its micro gas turbine propulsion systems and pursuing aerospace certification to expand its market footprint.
