Disruptive UAV technology for critical logistics

Built to move
what cannot wait.

Purpose-built, runway-independent cargo aircraft systems for missions where time, access, payload integrity, and reliability matter more than convention.

Scroll to mission

Three mission environments. One disciplined platform.

The cargo changes.
The standard does not.

Medical, humanitarian, and support missions require different payloads and workflows—but the same commitment to traceability, reliability, controlled custody, and evidence-based operations.

Phoenix P1 — candidate commercial configuration

One core architecture.
Modular missions.

Phoenix is developing a fixed-wing VTOL cargo platform with distributed lift, a central fuselage, modular payload interfaces, autonomous flight controls, and remote operational supervision.

The aircraft, payload module, ground station, communications, maintenance system, and fleet software are engineered as one operating system—not disconnected products.

Primary marketHealthcare
ModelSale · lease · service

Evidence required

  • Validated customer route, payload and site requirements
  • Approved operating, safety and maintenance concept

P2Regional Cargo VariantExtended payload and range Phoenix P2 regional cargo heavy-lift aircraft carrying a 1,000-pound payload

EXTENDED PAYLOAD AND RANGE

Earn the regional variant.

The P2 is intended for regional hub-and-spoke, rural access, emergency logistics, and larger medical-equipment missions using common architecture wherever P1 evidence supports reuse.

Candidate payload200–1,000 lbs
Candidate radius100–300 nmi
RoleRegional cargo
Advance whenP1 data matures

Evidence required

  • P1 flight, reliability and maintenance data
  • Verified customer demand and route economics
  • Reusable suppliers, avionics, software and support systems
  • Capital and certification plan proportionate to the expanded envelope

P2 is not a seed-stage clean-sheet program. It advances only when P1 has created a reusable engineering, supplier, customer, and operating basis.

P3Heavy-Lift DevelopmentLater specialized product family Phoenix P3 heavy-lift aircraft concept viewed from above on a landing pad

LATER SPECIALIZED PRODUCT FAMILY

Heavy cargo after the core is proven.

The P3 is a mission-dependent family for austere, disaster, defense, and specialized heavy cargo—advanced only after the core medical and regional platforms are proven.

Candidate payload1,000–2,000 lbs
Candidate radiusMission-dependent
RoleHeavy cargo
StatusLater-stage

Evidence required

  • Demonstrated P1/P2 safety, operations and customer adoption
  • Named, funded mission and qualification pathway
  • Heavy-lift propulsion, structure, energy and ground-support evidence
  • Dedicated capital outside the seed-stage P1 program

Heavy-lift development begins only after smaller-platform evidence, a funded mission, and a proportionate technical, regulatory, manufacturing, and financing plan are in place.

The logistics gap

Right-sized aviation for
missions that cannot wait.

Phoenix does not seek to replace every truck or helicopter. It creates a priority logistics layer for urgent payloads where access, safety, speed, and predictable delivery windows matter.

GROUND

Familiar and scalable

  • Ideal for bulk and multi-stop delivery
  • Constrained by traffic and damaged infrastructure
  • Exposes drivers in high-risk environments
PHOENIX

Direct and mission-sized

  • Bypasses road congestion and terrain barriers
  • Matches compact, urgent payloads
  • Supports repeatable route operations
THE MIDDLE LAYER
CREWED AVIATION

Powerful and flexible

  • Essential for rescue, medevac, and heavy lift
  • Higher crew, cost, noise, and scheduling burden
  • Often oversized for routine critical cargo

A route is the product

Aircraft are only one part
of dependable service.

Phoenix integrates route engineering, site readiness, payload qualification, controlled custody, mission release, remote supervision, maintenance, safety evidence, customer reporting, and continuous improvement.
