Anumá Aerospace, a North Carolina–based company advancing sustainable lighter-than-air transportation, is honored to announce that its pioneering work has been featured in two prominent publications: The Washington Post and Cargo Facts. These articles underscore the company’s innovative Partial Vacuum Lift (PVL) technology and its potential to redefine the future of aviation and air cargo.
The feature in Cargo Facts (December 2024) highlights Anumá’s progress toward the development of its first PVL cargo airship prototype. Unlike conventional airships, which rely on helium or hydrogen, Anumá’s patented approach uses a controllable vacuum-based lift system. This design improves safety, reduces costs, and provides a sustainable alternative for transporting freight across a variety of markets.
The Washington Post (May 2025) recognized Anumá Aerospace within the broader context of renewed global interest in modern airships. The article emphasized the environmental and economic benefits these systems can deliver, particularly in reducing aviation emissions and serving regions where conventional infrastructure is limited. Anumá’s co-founder, Diana Little, articulated the company’s value proposition by noting: “You can either send things expensively and quickly, or cheaply and slowly. This is the middle way that doesn’t exist right now.”
“These features represent a significant acknowledgment of our mission to deliver practical, sustainable solutions for global air transport,” said Jamie Little, Chief Executive Officer, Anumá Aerospace. “They reinforce the importance of our Partial Vacuum Lift technology in shaping a cleaner and more efficient future for aviation.”
Anumá Aerospace remains committed to advancing the development of carbon-neutral airship systems that balance affordability, safety, and environmental responsibility.
