About AutoFlight
AutoFlight is a pioneering startup in the aviation industry, specializing in the development and production of electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The company aims to revolutionize the future of mass transport by providing safe, sustainable, and silent aircraft, ideal for urban operation. AutoFlight's eVTOL aircraft are designed with a focus on simplicity, reducing mechanical components to lower both aircraft and maintenance costs. This makes their products not only environmentally friendly but also affordable and accessible.
Read full description
The company recently made history by successfully executing the world's first formation flight of three full-scale eVTOL aircraft. This achievement showcases AutoFlight's innovative capabilities and its potential to lead the industry. The company has also set a record for the world's longest eVTOL flight of 250.3 km with its New Gen4 Aircraft.
AutoFlight serves a diverse range of clients, including commercial airlines and private charter services. Recently, the company announced a landmark commercial deal with EVFLY for 205 eVTOL aircraft, indicating strong market demand for its products.
The company operates in the rapidly growing market of electric aviation, which is driven by increasing environmental concerns and the need for efficient urban transport solutions. AutoFlight's business model is based on designing, manufacturing, and selling eVTOL aircraft. The company also generates revenue from maintenance and support services for its aircraft.
AutoFlight has attracted significant investment, with Team Global recently committing to invest $100 million in the company. This investment will likely be used to further enhance AutoFlight's design and innovation capabilities, as evidenced by the appointment of automotive industry pioneer Frank Stephenson as Chief Designer of its Prosperity I Air-taxi.
