RT-1 Aviator · Full-face CPAP mask · In development
A real therapy mask on proven architecture, wearing the industrial design of the flight gear it always resembled.
Get on the list/ 01 · The brief
Every CPAP forum lands on the same line: you strap in at night and you're a fighter pilot. Then the lights come on and you're a patient in beige plastic.
Sleep apnea runs deep in the military and veteran community, and the gear that treats it should look like something you chose. So we're building the mask the joke was always about.
"Give me Maverick or Goose and I'll throw my debit card down as fast as I could."

/ 02 · The hardware
The RT-1 uses the same architecture as the mask you wear tonight: rigid frame, medical silicone cushion, standard hose, sized cushions. The flight-gear details carry their weight. The comms housing is the CO2 vent array. The bayonet fittings are low-profile so nothing presses into your pillow. Everything metal-looking is molded polymer except the chin swivel, because sleepable masks live under 100 grams.


Standard universal hose connection. Works with ResMed, Philips, and anything else running a standard tube.
One shell, multiple cushion sizes, the way every serious mask handles fit. Side-sleeper tested before launch.
Color molded into the polymer, not painted on. Daily wipe-downs and weekly washes will not eat the finish.
/ 03 · The standard
CPAP masks are Class II medical devices. The RT-1 is being developed with an FDA-registered mask manufacturer toward 510(k) clearance, and we will not sell a mask before it is cleared. Masks are prescription devices in the US; at launch we verify prescriptions the same way the major online CPAP retailers do.
/ 04 · The roster
The waitlist is the vote. Enough names and the RT-1 goes into development with our manufacturing partner. Joining costs nothing and commits you to nothing. When reservations open, the list goes first at the $149 target price, and we draw the veteran wear-test panel from it.
