About Airbility

Airbility is a South Korean aerospace company developing high-speed electric vertical-take-off-and-landing aircraft and counter-UAS systems. Its programme spans the AB-U2 close-range interceptor, canister-launched AB-U4L, net-equipped AB-U10 and AB-U60 mothership, with external radar, radio-frequency and command systems supplying detection and tasking data.

The 1.8-metre-class AB-U10 is presented as a 10-kilogram vectored-thrust aircraft capable of vertical launch, flight up to 180 kilometres per hour and a two-kilogram modular payload. Airbility uses the aircraft as an airborne hard-kill or capture layer within a wider counter-drone chain. The company was still funding development and international market entry in 2026, when it announced a KRW 6.5 billion Series A.
