About VForce Systems
Australian Engineering Innovation Built around a Patented Motion Platform
VForce Systems develops compound-motion and shape-adaptive engineering technology for renewable energy, aerospace, advanced mobility, defence, and maritime applications.
Company Position
A Specialist Technology and Intellectual Property Company
VForce is positioned as a focused Australian engineering and IP company pursuing application-specific development through research, industry collaboration, licensing, manufacturing partnerships, grants, and investment.
The company’s credibility is grounded in a working physical prototype, an active, granted international patent portfolio, multiple innovation awards, and participation in the RMIT Smart Wind Turbine Blade project.
Founder & Inventor
John Clark
John Clark is an engineering designer, private pilot, aircraft enthusiast, and inventor whose experience spans nuclear, offshore, aerospace, and international development environments.
The VForce concept originated from his assessment of conventional Fowler-flap deployment systems and the opportunity for a simpler, lighter, and more compact mechanism. The resulting compound-motion structure was then developed into a broader platform for aerodynamic and mechanical shape adaptation.
John remains focused on partnerships that can turn the underlying invention into validated, application-specific commercial systems.
