Single stick interface - no rudder pedals, no trim wheels, no mode switching.
Fly-By-Intent interprets pilot intent and translates it into optimized flight commands automatically.
The system maintains stability, altitude, and heading without continuous pilot input
Airframe Structure
Structural aluminum chassis wrapped in composite skin panels. Designed using automotive manufacturing principles, enabling consistent, high-volume production. The aircraft airframe is shared across AIR’s aircraft portfolio, enabling efficient Smart Aircraft platform production.
Battery System
Four independent Li-ion battery packs located in the aircraft underbelly.
Each pack is enclosed by a safe firewall and operates as a fully isolated unit.
Full recharge via NACS charger in under 60 minutes. Capable of charging from mobile generators.
Landing Gear
Fixed landing gear designed for all surfaces and off-airport operations.
Ballistic Parachute
Ballistic Recovery System (BRS) included as standard on all manned variants.
Deployable at low altitude and low airspeed, covering the most critical phases of flight.
Provides a final layer of safety independent of all other aircraft systems.
Propellers
Fixed-pitch propellers - optimized for cruise efficiency and low acoustic signature.
Blade geometry is tuned to balance static thrust in hover with reduced drag at cruise speed.
Each propeller is individually replaceable for rapid field servicing.
Proven Technology
Validation in the Field
Technology proven across thousands of test flights and real-world flight operations. Every system on the Smart Aircraft platform has been tested in real conditions and simulated environments. From hover stability to full transition flgihts, the flight data gathered across thousands of flights has been used to continuously refine propulsion, avionics, and flight control logic.
Airflow & pressure analysis across the full flight envelope.
Years of full-scale flight testing have driven continuous refinement and enhancements, ensuring the aircraft evolves in alignment with certification requirements and the highest standards of safety and performance.
Simulation data validated against real-world flight.

A Smarter Way To Fly
AIR's proprietary Fly-By-Intent™ technology interprets pilot intent through a single stick, or autonomous command logic for uncrewed operations - eliminating the need to continuously manage the aircraft. Built on a redundant fly-by-wire architecture with real-time envelope protection, it delivers simplicity, safety, and precision across every mission.

One Intent
Complete Control
The aircraft manages the complexity. The mission stays front of mind.
Fly-By-Intent™ translates any command into stable, coordinated flight - automatically maintaining altitude, airspeed, pitch, and bank across every phase of operation. Whether the input comes from a pilot or an autonomous navigation system, the platform processes it with equal precision and responds with the same stability.
One control philosophy. Every Smart Aircraft.
Flight Experience
Fly-By-Intent elevates and simplifies the flight experience. Pilots set the intent - the system handles the rest.

Wing-Borne Efficient Flight
At cruise speed, the wing generates 60% of total lift. Motors throttle back and shift primarily to a control function maintaining stability, heading, and altitude with minimal energy draw. The result is a flight profile optimized for range, efficiency, and passenger comfort.
Technology / Flight Control
Resilient by Architecture
Designed according to FAA certification standards.
AIR’s flight control system was developed entirely in-house; both hardware and software. The Smart Aircraft platform offers redundant motor units, while energy is supplied by four independent battery packs, providing multiple layers of redundancy for both propulsion and energy supply. The system is designed to handle any single critical failure without compromising aircraft control or flight stability.

Fly-by-Wire
Intelligence Over Mechanics
Fly-By-Intent™ is built on advanced fly-by-wire architecture, replacing traditional mechanical linkages with an intelligent distributed electric propulsion system that delivers real-time responsiveness and stability. Every input, whether from the control stick or an autonomous navigation system, is processed and executed with the same precision.This architecture is shared across both AIR ONE and our Autonomous AIR Cargo, giving the entire Smart Aircraft platform a common control foundation - consistent, reliable, and flight-tested.
Three Missions. One Intention.
Personal Flight
Fly-by-Intent transforms the pilot experience by simplifying aircraft control and allowing pilots to focus on where they want to go rather than on operating a complex machine. Intelligent flight assistance enhances safety, confidence, and accessibility, making advanced Smart Aircraft easier to operate.
Autonomous Cargo
Fly-by-Intent enables precise and reliable autonomous operations by translating mission objectives into intelligent flight actions. The system supports efficient logistics missions with reduced operator workload and consistent performance, allowing the aircraft to operate in logistics, medevac, and humanitarian missions with minimal crew.
Defense
Fly-by-Intent provides intelligent autonomy and operational flexibility for defense missions where reliability, adaptability, and mission effectiveness are critical. The technology enables advanced aircraft capabilities while supporting complex operational requirements.
Safe Flight Envelope
Safety in Every Layer
Fly-By-Intent™ continuously monitors the aircraft and its systems, ensuring operation within defined safe parameters at all times. Redundancy spans propulsion, energy, and avionics - so no single failure disrupts the mission. Advanced terrain awareness and real-time envelope protection give both pilots and autonomous systems the situational awareness they need.
For crewed operations, an integrated ballistic recovery system (BRS) provides an additional safety layer.
