  • The Group 4 VTOL aircraft is designed for a 550 lb payload and one-hour endurance.
  • Elmo says its air-cooled drive architecture removes the need for a heavier liquid-cooling system.
  • AIR disclosed that more than 25 Heavy Lift aircraft had already been ordered and paid for.

AIR develops electric vertical-takeoff aircraft for uncrewed cargo logistics and piloted personal flight. Its Heavy Lift UAS carries up to 550 lb for defence, commercial and humanitarian missions, while AIR ONE follows a separate piloted-aircraft certification path.
