Driving decarbonization by delivering low cost green energy, enabled by a unique aerial transportation solution.
About us
Radia is enabling the best onshore wind energy – through a unique aerial transportation solution – to help the world meet its decarbonization goals. Radia’s WindRunner(tm) – the world’s largest aircraft – is specifically engineered to deliver the largest wind turbine blades and components directly to wind farm sites, including difficult-to-access and low-wind locations where large turbine blades are needed to generate power most cost-effectively. WindRunner will enable GigaWind(tm) – Radia’s term for the largest, most efficient wind turbine blades of today and tomorrow. Radia’s solution will result in an expanded role for onshore wind in the renewable energy mix, more green electrons and green molecules at lower cost, a more reliable grid, and significant progress on the path to decarbonization.

Thanks Jason Bordoff - we agree that thinking outside the box is essential to solving big problems. Check out MCJ's "Inevitable" podcast with our founder and CEO Mark Lundstrom to learn more about Radia's vision and progress.
Sometimes you need to think outside the box to solve big problems. Massive wind turbine blades that you find offshore can dramatically lower costs, but offshore can be expensive and you often can't get blades that large to wind farms onshore because of the physical limitations of transporting turbine blades via highways, bridges, etc. So it was non-obvious to me when my friend Mark Lundstrom told me nearly a decade ago that the solution to this challenge was actually an aviation solution--build the world's biggest airplane 😲 . It's been exciting to see his journey as he has built Radia, Inc. This is an interesting deep dive into Mark, the firm, and clean energy. https://lnkd.in/eGyxUjRE

Radia extends a huge congratulations to Wilhem Hector on his recent selection as a Rhodes Trust Scholar at Oxford University. Prior to this distinction, Hector interned at Radia for multiple years. During his time working on Radia’s Development and Modeling teams, Hector took initiative, spread enthusiasm, and developed valuable skills. He built and deployed a neural network for long-term wind speed predictions on project sites, he leveraged machine learning to enhance Radia’s project modeling capabilities, and he built and integrated an internal model to analyze sound power levels in communities around project sites. We hope to welcome Hector back to Radia after his time as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. Radia is a springboard for talents like Hector to work in a fast-paced environment, learn about renewable technology solutions, and get exposure to energy and engineering projects. If you’d like to join our team or learn more about our company mission, email recruiting@radia.com to express interest and be notified about future internship opportunities. Congratulations again, Hector!

Our next guest is building the world’s largest aircraft, the WindRunner, to transport massive offshore-sized turbine blades to onshore sites. 💨 Imagine wind turbines the height of the Eiffel Tower with blades longer than a football field. These larger turbines could transform the economics of onshore wind, making energy cheaper and more accessible. In this episode, Radia, Inc. CEO Mark Lundstrom and Cody dive into his company's verticalized approach to addressing a major challenge in wind energy: the physical limitations of transporting turbine blades via the U.S. interstate highway system. 🎙️ Listen at the links below!

I get asked a lot about the origin story of Radia, Inc., so here you go. I started Radia in 2016 to explore if there were opportunities at the intersection of aerospace and energy to reduce CO2 emissions - and also have a very profitable business. Shortly after Radia was founded, a press release came out from two wind turbine manufacturers that compete for every deal globally. They were frustrated that the energy industry knows how to make offshore-sized turbines and deploy them in places like the North Sea but can't take that knowledge to deploy them onshore where the market is an order of magnitude larger. Their release asked if an aerospace company, engineer, or entrepreneur could help them figure out how to airlift an object that weighs 45 tons and is over 100 meters in length, and land it on a piece of dirt in the middle of a wind farm. I showed up within a week and started working with them. Our massive cargo aircraft WindRunner is our solution to the problem as it can deliver offshore-sized blades onshore and enable what we call GigaWind. The Radia team is the driving force behind our success. I’m so proud of what we’ve accomplished together towards bringing WindRunner and GigaWind online.
