  • The Y6S Plus used a tricopter layout with two tilting coaxial front rotors and a third coaxial rotor behind the main wing.
  • The company targeted a 200 km/h cruise speed and roughly 130 km of range from swappable lithium battery packs.
  • The larger six-seat cabin was positioned for scheduled point-to-point shuttle services rather than immediate on-demand air-taxi operations.

Autonomous Flight develops electric vertical-take-off-and-landing aircraft for advanced air mobility. Its work centres on distributed electric propulsion, aircraft controls and vehicle concepts for short urban and regional journeys.
