Flapping Airplanes Inc. is a year-old artificial intelligence research lab that raised $1 billion in new funding in October 2026, valuing the startup at a reported $6 billion, according to Bloomberg (SiliconANGLE, October 21). The company has not yet released any commercial product (SiliconANGLE, October 21). It is reportedly focused on building AI models (SiliconANGLE, October 21).
