About me
Justin McAfee is the founder and CEO of Wright One Inc., a Texas-based advanced manufacturing company building the airflow and propulsion infrastructure that powers modern compute — and ultimately, consumer flight.
At a Glance — What Justin Does
Founder/CEO of Wright One Inc., building modular electric motor systems for cooling, airflow, and propulsion
Creator of the Wright Fan, a trackable, refurbishable cooling system now in pilots with crypto mines, data centers, and enterprise engineering teams
Building Texas-based circular manufacturing, with refurbishing and recycling operations scaling toward 50,000+ units/month
Pushing the frontier of electric propulsion through Wright Turbine, a contra-rotating system for drones, defense, and future eVTOL platforms
Background in manufacturing & aerospace, including experience with Multimatic (Ford GT, Aston Martin Valkyrie)
Commercially rated pilot, shaping Wright One’s consumer-focused flight interface and propulsion roadmap
Driving a 10-year economic plan with Cedar Park, including job creation, domestic assembly, refurb operations, and long-term turbine manufacturing
Committed to circularity — Wright One measures CO₂e impact, tracks failure rates, and recycles 83–95% of material in each fan system
Focused on Texas as the home of sustainable industrial innovation and the future manufacturing base for the Wright Car
Expanded Context & Vision
Wright One began with an insight Justin saw firsthand: cooling fans — the smallest part of compute — fail at the highest rates and quietly create a massive global waste chain. They’re replaced constantly with no tracking, no refurbishment, and no accountability. Justin recognized that the industry was missing the entire downstream lifecycle.
This led to the Wright Fan, a high-performance 120mm cooling system that is trackable, modular, and built for 2–4 reuse cycles through U.S.-based refurbishment. The company is already running expanded pilots with customers including Sazmining, Cholla Energy, and multiple repair shops, and is preparing for large-volume engagement with Dell Technologies. The fan platform cuts lifecycle CO₂e by up to 85%, and every unit becomes a recurring revenue stream through Wright One’s refurbishment service model.
Justin’s background in manufacturing and supply chain — shaped by years working with Multimatic, one of the world’s top low-volume engineering firms — guides Wright One’s emphasis on durability, modularity, and manufacturability. This same engineering foundation now supports the development of Wright Turbine, a contra-rotating electric propulsion system for drones, defense robotics, and eventually the Wright Car: a mass-market flying vehicle designed for intuitive consumer operation.
Wright One’s relocation to Cedar Park reflects Justin’s dedication to building a next-generation industrial ecosystem in Texas. The company’s 10-year roadmap includes circular refurbishing operations, high-volume motor manufacturing, turbine development lines, and ultimately flight-vehicle assembly — creating hundreds of jobs and billions in taxable revenue for Texas.
Justin combines engineering rigor, pilot perspective, and founder grit to push a bold mission:
build the modular electric propulsion infrastructure for the next era of compute, robotics, and human flight — all made in Texas.
