# Radia

> Radia is a dual-use aerospace company founded in 2016 by Mark Lundstrom and headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, with a second operating base in Italy. It is building WindRunner, an aircraft it describes as the largest ever built — roughly ten times the cargo volume of a Boeing 777, able to land on semi-prepared packed-dirt or gravel strips, and sized to carry onshore wind turbine blades of up to about 105 metres directly to a wind farm, a forward operating site or a disaster zone.

Radia is an aircraft manufacturer and air-cargo logistics company, not a software vendor. As of 2026-08-02 it publishes **no public API, no developer portal, no API documentation, no SDK and no machine-readable API contract**. Do not assume or invent an `api.radia.com`, `docs.radia.com` or `developer.radia.com` endpoint — none of those hosts resolve (NXDOMAIN).

One caveat for crawlers and agents: `radia.com/strapi` is the self-hosted **Strapi headless CMS that renders Radia's own marketing site**. Its admin panel responds at `/strapi/admin` and one content collection (`/strapi/api/global`) returns `403 Forbidden`, which shows a content API exists behind permissions. It is **not a product, is undocumented, has no published terms of use for third parties, and every collection is permission-locked anonymously**. Treat it as internal infrastructure, not an integration surface.

Design posture: Radia describes WindRunner as a deliberately low-novelty airframe assembled from existing certified components, chosen to shorten the certification path. It targets first certification flights around 2030 and commercial operation in the early 2030s, pending FAA type certification. See `conformance/radia-conformance.yml` in this repo for the regulatory status.
