About Us

ZENON AeroGenesis began with a single, impulsive desire: the wish to freely fly through the sky.
The company was founded by its creator, Taiga Iso, who at the age of seventeen decided to pursue human flight not as a distant dream, but as an engineering challenge to be solved.

​

Drawing upon experience gained through international robotics competitions and hands-on engineering, development began while Iso was still in high school. After graduation, more than ¥20 million in funding was secured, enabling the project to expand rapidly. A global team of highly skilled collaborators was assembled, and the development base was relocated to Tokyo. Within just five months of concentrated development, the project reached the threshold of flight for a human-carrying jet suit.

​

Through this endeavor, ZENON sought to demonstrate something fundamental: that even young individuals, starting with limited resources, can realize ambitious dreams through determination, technical rigor, and responsibility. The jet suit program is on track to establish a record in Japan for the youngest founder, smallest team, and shortest development period to reach a manned aircraft-class system.

​

However, as global instability and geopolitical uncertainty intensified, a critical realization emerged. The environment in which dreams of human flight can exist is sustained only by peace and stability. Technology that enables human aspiration cannot be separated from the conditions that preserve it.

​

This recognition marked a turning point. ZENON expanded its mission beyond personal flight, applying compact jet propulsion technologies toward defense-oriented systems intended to protect lives and deter conflict. The same jet suit platform was used as a foundation to develop jet engine control systems entirely from the ground up, elevating internal architectures to military-grade standards.

​

Through this process, ZENON established deep expertise in managing extreme thermal environments exceeding 800°C, advanced material selection, aerodynamic control, and structural design. These efforts resulted in hardware manufacturing know-how and ultra-lightweight body architectures that significantly surpass conventional jet suit designs.

​

Today, while continuing to pursue stable and controlled human flight, ZENON is simultaneously advancing the development of jet-powered defense UAV systems. Operating with a focus on the Indo-Pacific region and the broader global security landscape, the company is working toward the realization of cruise-type interceptor UAV systems capable of countering drone and missile threats.

​

ZENON’s long-term vision is clear: to help shape a future in which advanced aerial defense systems reduce human casualties to zero, transforming the nature of conflict through technology that prioritizes deterrence, control, and the preservation of life.

​

What began as a single individual’s impulse to fly has evolved into a disciplined effort to ensure that humanity’s dreams are protected by peace—and that peace itself is supported by responsible engineering.
