From the Founder’s Desk:

Innovation is not only about creating what’s possible — it’s about choosing to create what’s necessary. Aeridu Swift exists because we believe clean, safe, and connected transportation is not a luxury, but a responsibility to future generations.

When we reimagine infrastructure as community-owned, we take a step toward solving problems collectively, not just individually. That’s how real progress takes root.

Founder & CEO, Aeridu Swift Technologies

 

 

Before steel is laid or modules are built, the first milestone for Aeridu Swift is the Virtual Twin — a fully integrated simulation of our maglev system, EV charging, and guideway operations. By starting in the digital world, we can test, validate, and refine at a fraction of the cost of physical trials.

Simulation is not just a step — it’s the foundation. It ensures every dollar invested in prototypes and infrastructure builds on validated physics, safety standards, and real-world scenarios.

What the Virtual Twin Covers

Using Siemens’ advanced simulation tools, the Aeridu Swift Virtual Twin models:

• Maglev propulsion and levitation stability
• Wireless EV charging in transit
• Guideway mechanics under passenger and freight loads
• Safety systems and regulatory case-building
• Low-speed to high-speed coupling transitions

Each layer of the Virtual Twin helps us answer critical questions before building at scale — making Aeridu Swift faster to develop, safer to operate, and more cost-efficient.

The Siemens Advantage

Through Siemens’ Software for Startups program, we’re able to access enterprise-grade tools like NX, Simcenter, and Teamcenter, accelerating our R&D. This gives Aeridu Swift the ability to move from concept → simulation → prototype with the same rigor trusted by global leaders in transportation and energy.
