Our Aircraft

The NEX(T) Generation of Industrial Cargo Aircraft

Engineered for demanding industrial environments. A new class of heavy-lift unmanned aerial systems - bridging the gap between lightweight drones and conventional aviation, delivering performance, reliability and sustainable economic advantage at scale.

Electric and hybrid-electric.
We are evolving our aircraft concept.
More details will be revealed in 2027.

Built Against the Non-Negotiable Limits of Industrial Operations

We take operator constraints as fixed inputs and engineer the system around them. These requirements define the minimum conditions for deployment at scale.

Urgent Cargo

50-100 kg payload under time critical missions

Operational range

60-600 km mission range

Response time

On-demand launch,
minutes not hours

Economics

Cost structure viable for daily operations

Delivery

Safe, no-landing cargo transfer with minimal deck involvement

Operations

Repeatable missions with low operational overhead

Scalability

Scales from urgent missions to routine logistics

Weather

Operable across typical offshore weather conditions

Urgent Cargo

20-100 kg payload under time critical missions

Weather

Operable across typical offshore weather conditions

Operational range

20-150km mission radius

Response time

On-demand launch,
minutes not hours

Delivery

Safe, no-landing cargo transfer with minimal deck involvement

Operations

Repeatable missions with low operational overhead

Scalability

Use cases

From Maritime Operations to Scalable Industrial Applications

Maritime and offshore operations build the perfect entry point. Here, reliability must be proven under the most demanding conditions. This foundation enables expansion into broader industrial cargo applications.

Maritime & Offshore

Where the solution proves it can survive reality

Highest urgency and cost failure

Weather, distance, and asset motion always present

Immediate willingness to pay for relliability

Maritime

Shore to anchorage (IPL)

Shore to en route ship (OPL)

Shore to Service Operating Vessels (SOV)

Offshore

Wind Turbine

Oil & Gas

Remote Industrial & Routine Operations

Where performance turns into volume

Predictable routes and repeatable missons

Volume enables opeational learning loops

Reliability compounds into lower unit econimics

Routine Offshore + Maritime:

Remote Energy - in tundra desert

Medical Labs - for cold storage

Inland Rivers - for sparse ports

Mining Operations - for is free ops

Maritime - Island to Island

Multi-Mission Operations

Where the system delivers network-level value

Corridor-based, high-utilization operations

Integrated into regional logistics networks

Efficiency comes from orchestration

Standardized routes for:

Industrial Sites

Ports

Hubs
