      <image:title>Up Like a Rocket, Forward Like a Plane: Inside Airbound’s TRT, the Delivery Drone That Weighs Less Than Its Cargo</image:title>
      <image:caption>Most delivery drones fail at the one ratio that matters: the weight of the aircraft versus the weight of the cargo. A typical delivery drone needs about four kilos of machine to lift one kilo of goods — most of the energy goes into carrying itself. In Bengaluru, a three-year-old aerospace startup has decided to […]</image:caption>

      <image:caption>For six decades, a single-cylinder diesel engine in Fieldmarshal green has been one of the most recognisable sights on Indian farms — pumping water, grinding grain and powering small machinery in fields far from any service network. This month the Rajkot manufacturer put something genuinely new behind that green pai...</image:caption>

      <image:title>Flat, not fat: inside Torus Motion, the Chennai startup building India’s axial flux motors</image:title>
      <image:caption>Most electric motors are shaped like cans — magnetic flux flows radially, along the radius, and the motor ends up long, heavy and hard to package. Flip the geometry so the flux runs parallel to the shaft, and the motor flattens into a disc: shorter, denser and far more powerful for its size. These are […]</image:caption>
