What is Managed Autorotation?

Managed Autorotation℠ is Aergility’s patented technology enabling unmanned aircraft to take off and land vertically while achieving fixed-wing aerodynamic efficiency through passive rotor autorotation during cruise.

What payload can Aergility aircraft carry?

The Aergility HAULER carries 750 lbs useful load (fuel + payload) over 500+ miles. The VISTA carries 25+ lbs useful load for ISR missions.

Does Aergility aircraft need a runway?

No. All Aergility aircraft use Managed Autorotation℠ technology for vertical take-off and landing from any surface. No runway, launchpad, or ground crew required.

What markets does Aergility serve?

Aergility serves military markets (contested logistics, ISR, special operations) and civil markets (cargo delivery, oil and gas, firefighting, search and rescue, humanitarian operations).
