Last-mile. Battery-electric.
AIRLOOP AEROSPACE
Cargo shouldn't have to follow the roads.
So we're building the network that doesn't.
Electric aircraft, autonomous hubs and flight intelligence — designed as one system. What takes an hour on the ground takes minutes in the air.
PROTOTYPE IN FABRICATION · FLIGHT TEST CAMPAIGN TO FOLLOW
SCROLL TO BEGIN
01 · THE PROBLEM
The ground is full.
Congestion is worsening almost everywhere: 62% of the world's urban areas saw delays rise in 2025. In the US alone that cost $85.8 billion in lost time.SOURCE · INRIX 2025
The corridor below runs straight across the water. By road at rush hour it is close to an hour. In the air it is a fraction of that — the distance stops being the problem.MODEL
It's not a distance problem. It's an access problem.
02 · THE HUB
For AirLoop, no airport needed.
A hub the size of a small building — not an airfield. Here is what happens when an aircraft comes home.
- It lands on its own. The pad opens, the aircraft descends vertically and settles into place. Nobody guides it in.
- A robotic arm takes over. The same arm lifts out the spent battery, drops in a charged one, unloads the delivered parcel and loads the next.
- The aircraft checks itself. Battery, motors, control surfaces and the next route are verified before anything moves.
- It launches again. Wheels down to wheels up in 4–6 minutes.TARGET
Aircraft + autonomous hub = a working network.
03 · THE AIRCRAFT
Not a drone. An aircraft.
The airframe and its propulsion were designed as one system, not assembled from parts. That integration is where the quiet and the efficiency come from.
15 kg · 25–30 km · 150–200 km/h · 120–150 mTARGET
The airframe is currently in fabrication, with a staged flight-test campaign to follow.TARGET
04 · CLIMB
The road goes around. We go across.
Below, vans trace the shoreline and queue for the bridge. Up here, the corridor is a straight line across the water.

05 · WEATHER INTELLIGENCE
Bad weather doesn't cancel the flight. It changes the route.

ROUTE A → WIND LAYER DETECTED → REPLAN → ROUTE B
You just watched it change route and altitude. The value isn't an energy percentage — it's flying the hours others cancel.TARGET
06 · AUTONOMOUS DECISION
Every decision it makes can be replayed and explained.
INPUTS · wind · rain · battery SOC · terrain · traffic · restricted zones · mission priority

ALTITUDE −35 M · ROUTE +2.4 KM · SPEED −8%
↓ MISSION CONTINUES
Decisions happen onboard — the aircraft doesn't ask the internet what to do. And every flight trains the next one.
07 · TRAFFIC
Separation is a decision, not a hope.
DETECT → TRAFFIC CONFLICT · HELICOPTER
PREDICT → PREDICTED INTERSECTION · 41 SEC
REPLAN → OPTION A — CLIMB · OPTION B — DESCEND · OPTION C — REROUTE ◄ SELECTED
CONFLICT CLEARED · MISSION CONTINUES
A helicopter crosses ahead and it reroutes on its own. Nobody is on a joystick.
Traffic awareness and centralized tracking are now mandatory under the Turkish framework.SOURCE · SHGMTARGET
08 · ARRIVAL · MISSION COMPLETE
Everything moves eventually. These move first.
Down, unload, battery swap, ready. Every category moves in time — it starts where waiting is most expensive:

09 · THE LANDSCAPE
Between last-mile drones and regional freighters, the middle is empty.
PAYLOAD CLASS · WHO OPERATES THERE TODAY

10–15 KG
Middle-mile. Battery-electric.
45–350 KG
Regional. Hybrid propulsion.
Vans are tied to the road. Helicopters burn fuel. Freighters need runways. AirLoop needs none of it — vertical, autonomous, road-independent, and 100% battery-electric: zero tailpipe emissions in flight.TARGET

The demand is proven, the money is forecast, and the rules now exist. What is missing is the network.
Demand, money and rules all exist. What is missing is the network.
12 · THE NETWORK
One aircraft is a vehicle. A network of aircraft and hubs is a utility.
The corridor you just flew multiplies. Value scales as aircraft × hub density × corridor utilization, and every flight adds operational data no one else holds.
Built for dense cities — the same system, any skyline.
