About Elroy Air

Elroy Air develops Chaparral, an autonomous hybrid-electric vertical-take-off-and-landing cargo aircraft for defence, emergency response and middle-mile logistics. The aircraft picks up and releases modular cargo pods without a crew onboard, allowing ground teams to prepare loads separately from flight operations.

The current production configuration targets payloads above 500 pounds and range up to 450 miles, combining electric lift rotors with efficient wing-borne cruise and onboard generation. Mission software manages autonomous flight between austere sites. Kratos handles U.S. manufacturing, while Elroy Air leads aircraft development, system integration, testing and customer programmes.
