Cargo & logistics

The cargo bay is built for practical, repeatable logistics missions - optimized for fast loading, secure retention, and efficient turnaround. Its layout supports common cargo formats and mission kits, helping operators move supplies with minimal ground time and consistent handling procedures.

Safety is designed into cargo operations through redundancy, controlled flight behavior, and clear operational envelopes. The system is built to reduce workload on the team, support predictable mission execution, and maintain safe performance across routine and high-tempo logistics scenarios.

Operational simplicity is a core capability, enabling small teams to plan, launch, monitor, and complete missions efficiently. The platform is designed for quick deployment, streamlined procedures, and high availability, supporting frequent sorties without complex infrastructure.

All-weather BVLOS capability supports reliable logistics even when conditions are challenging and routes extend beyond line of sight. It is designed to maintain mission continuity, expand operational reach, and enable efficient operations across a wider range of environments.

Carries LTE, SATCOM, and tactical radio links simultaneously as an always-active, multi-path communications architecture. If one link degrades or is lost, the system transitions to the next available path without interrupting command and control or telemetry.

Built around an all-electric architecture, AIR Cargo's power system combines intelligent energy distribution with distributed propulsion to create a highly responsive and efficient flight platform. Power is continuously managed across the aircraft to optimize performance, maintain system balance, and support smooth flight behavior.

AIR Cargo’s distributed electric propulsion architecture delivers precise control, enhanced efficiency, and exceptional reliability through independently managed propulsion units. By distributing thrust across multiple motors, the system provides smooth handling, improved redundancy, and consistent aircraft performance across the mission profile. This reduced mechanical complexity provides a quieter, simpler, and more reliable propulsion solution built for demanding operations.

AIR Cargo was engineered around a simple principle: utilization of airflow in forward flight. During cruise, approximately 60% of total lift is generated aerodynamically by the wings, reducing propulsion power demand and improving efficiency.

AIR Cargo is built around an intentionally simple architecture with a minimal number of moving parts. Its electric motors are the only critical moving components across the design, generating both lift and thrust while eliminating the need for traditional control surfaces. This streamlined design reduces mechanical complexity, improves reliability, and simplifies maintenance.

Whether operating from established facilities or remote logistics points, the system enables streamlined charging workflows and reduced turnaround time - supporting consistent mission readiness without the complexity of traditional aviation infrastructure. The aircraft can recharge via generators in the field or from fixed locations.

Operational readiness starts on the ground. AIR Cargo’s folding wing architecture enables a compact storage profile and efficient overland transport, reducing the burden of deployment and infrastructure requirements.

AIR Cargo is designed for minimal maintenance and maximum uptime. With a minimal moving-part architecture and no traditional control surfaces or landing gear systems, routine servicing is simplified and inspection cycles are streamlined.

AIR's Ground Control Station is designed for operational efficiency at scale. A single operator can monitor and manage up to 3 aircraft simultaneously maintaining full situational awareness across the fleet while the Fly-By-Intent™ autonomous layer handles real-time flight management for each unit.
