From vertical strike jets to Navy logistics aircraft, Mach aims to shift from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of units monthly by year’s end. Unlike focused competitors, Mach bets on breadth over depth, building hardware-first like Anduril — but in Anduril’s shadow. Thornton insists collaboration, even with rivals, is key to winning the security race, and he’s laser-focused on listening to his team to stay grounded in the chaos.
