The drone is an electric aircraft that takes off and lands vertically using propellers that change direction. Therefore, it does not require a runway.
The drone is very large: its wingspan is approximately 8 meters, and it can carry up to about 100 kilograms over a range of approximately 120 kilometers.
Test flights for the drone are planned for the second quarter of 2026. The company hopes to operate it commercially in 2028. The drone is intended for critical deliveries to remote areas or regions lacking transportation infrastructure.
Air, a company founded in 2018 in Kfar Yona, has already received preliminary approvals in the United States.
