AUTONOMOUS AVIATION

The Future of Flight
Is Autonomous

We're building the AI platform that flies aircraft safely, at scale, without pilots onboard.

THE PROBLEM

Aviation can't scale with humans alone

01

Pilot Shortage

660,000 new pilots needed. Training can't keep pace with demand. Airlines cutting routes.

02

Human Error

Around 75% of accidents traced to human factors. Fatigue and cognitive overload persist.

03

Growing Demand

Fleet expanding 33% by 2033. The gap between pilots and aircraft widens each year.

04

Rising Costs

$100K+ to train each pilot. Labor costs accelerating. Margins compressed.

THE SOLUTION

Full-Stack Flight Autonomy

ONBOARD

Autonomous Core

  • Perception — Multi-sensor fusion
  • Decision — Real-time AI reasoning
  • Control — Safe flight execution
ENCRYPTED LINK
GROUND

Supervised Ops

  • Monitor — Real-time fleet visibility
  • Intervene — Human override pathways
  • Scale — One to hundreds of aircraft
APPROACH

Built for Certification

Validation-First

Digital twin simulation before deployment

Multi-Layer Safety

No single point of failure

Certification Path

Clear regulatory roadmap

Enterprise Security

Military-grade encryption

WHY NOW

The Inflection Point

AI Maturity

Vision transformers and LLMs enable human-level perception and reasoning.

Edge Compute

NVIDIA Orin delivers 275 TOPS—enough for real-time flight AI.

Connectivity

Starlink Aviation enables global, low-latency fleet supervision.

Regulation

FAA AC 20-203 and EASA SC-VTOL define certification paths.

"We believe autonomous flight will be safer than human-piloted flight.
Our mission is to prove it."
