Under the skirt
The blade stays inside the vehicle skirt — out of ascent airflow and reentry plasma. That geometry is the design. Load testing comes with the first article.
Springblade is designed. The prototype is next.
We are Lunar Hardware Systems. This film shows Springblade, our curved landing-leg concept. Designs are locked. Partners fund the first article.
The study
Why the leg is curved
Blade damping
Damping comes from the blade bending. We call this solid-state damping. No oil shocks, hinges, footpads, or crush cores: fewer parts, less mass, nothing to replace after landing.
What exists
A complete design study: film, stills, and architecture. The first metal article and load test are what we build next. Read the full Springblade case.
