Re-imagining mid-mile cargo transport
MightyFly, an autonomous air cargo carrier, has performed successful autonomous flights of its MF-100 autonomous aircraft in the Bay Area. The MF-100 autonomous aircraft has a cargo capacity of 45 kg and a flight range of 1,126 km. The flights included successful autonomous vertical take-off and landing.
MightyFly is engineering a faster, less-expensive, carbon neutral, door-to-door, mid mile cargo solution. With its hybrid propulsion system, a MightyFly autonomous aircraft recharges its batteries in flight, making it possible to perform multiple deliveries to multiple hubs along one single flight route.
Since it closed initial seeding funding in 2021 (see our article), MightyFly has quadrupled in size, hiring some of the brightest minds in the field. (cj)
