About Us
Born From Decades of Aerodynamics Intelligence
Firefly is the brainchild of the dedicated technical team at Antheon, with support from the recognized industry experts at Agilis Engineering. Over the past 35 years, Agilis has earned the reputation as one of the most respected turbine engine design and development companies in the world.
Designed from the ground up by the best minds in turbomachinery.
Our expert development team started with a clean sheet when envisioning the revolutionary Firefly technology, leveraging the combined turbine engine experience of Agilis with the power system knowledge our own Antheon engineers. Today, we share a common goal to radically reinvent mobile power generation.
