About Acodyne
Acodyne’s proposed aircraft family scales around payload classes of approximately 100, 200 and 500 kilograms, with electric and hybrid configurations planned for each size. A ducted-fan VTOL architecture is intended to provide vertical access from clearings, helipads or constrained sites while retaining higher forward-flight speed than conventional cargo multicopters.
The eTHOR flight-management stack is being developed for route optimisation, predictive safety functions and coordination of multiple aircraft. Published range and speed figures remain company targets for aircraft under development rather than demonstrated specifications from a mature operating fleet.
