Engineering & technology
Blacklight Industries pursues ambitious ideas across aerospace, entertainment technology, advanced systems, and media—designing and building the systems that turn difficult ideas into real-world capability.
What we are
Blacklight Industries is an engineering and technology company built to take on technically ambitious projects that cross conventional boundaries.
Our work brings together engineering, aviation, live production, software, hardware, media, manufacturing, and operations. Some projects become products. Some become technologies. Some grow into dedicated organizations of their own. What connects them is a common approach: understand the problem, engineer the solution, build it properly, and keep pushing what is possible.
Where we work
Blacklight works across several technical fields, creating dedicated capabilities and organizations where a problem deserves sustained focus.
A full-service production company providing professional audio, lighting, video, and broadcast support for events, venues, schools, and emerging performers.
Developing aviation systems, aerospace technologies, simulation capabilities, and long-horizon transportation concepts.
Exploring the intersection of technical storytelling, original media, production systems, and creative technology.
Engineering work that reaches beyond a single industry—from specialized hardware and software to automation, prototyping, manufacturing, and integrated technical systems.
How we build
We start with problems worth solving, including the ones that appear too difficult, too unusual, or too ambitious.
Hardware, software, people, infrastructure, and processes are designed as parts of one complete system.
We move beyond concepts: prototype, test, integrate, document, manufacture, and operate.
Every working system becomes a foundation for the next capability, the next iteration, and the next harder problem.
Founder-led
Blacklight Industries was founded by Preston Hall around a simple conviction: ambitious ideas deserve to be built. His background across aviation, engineering, live production, broadcast systems, and hands-on technical development shaped Blacklight’s multidisciplinary approach to turning difficult ideas into working systems.
“We don’t want to predict the future. We want to engineer it.”
