Our mission

Our mission

We build machines to move goods through the sky. Our first aircraft will take off from water, land on water, and cross seas carrying cargo. Think warehouse-to-port, port-to-island, faster and more frequent than boats ever could be. We are on a mission to make India the next aviation capital of the world, and manufacturing full-scale airplanes is a major step forward.

WHY NOW?

Aviation has never been safer.

Aviation has never been safer.

India ranks among the world’s largest aviation markets, ordering hundreds of aircraft worth billions each year. Yet almost all of that value is created elsewhere. We’re building India’s first end-to-end aircraft OEM.

SOLUTION

The missing middle of flight.

Middle-mile Focus

We have set out to dominate the market for medium-sized airplanes to transport 2-6 tonne of cargo from point A to point B. Most cargo operators struggle to utilize more than 50% of the aircraft.

Autonomous Operations

Aviation is safe because the engineering is mature. But it can be safer, and cheaper to operate. The next safety and cost curve comes from autonomy, not from adding more humans to the loop.

Start on Water

Oceans are massively underutilized. Water runways can be licensed and operated with simpler infrastructure than land aerodromes in early phases. Several countries already run formal frameworks for seaplane platforms and water aerodromes.

Technology

Come work with us

We are retrofitting an ultralight airplane to prove that a 30 ft wingspan aircraft can be flown without a pilot on board -- safely, and reliably.

Meet the team

We are a lean team of engineers, designers, and logistics veterans building the world's first autonomous airliner.

Look up. We can go higher.

We’re making aircraft that launch from water, cross seas, and one day go farther still. If craft matters to you even when no one’s watching — you belong here.
